The ageist attacks are predictable, but McCain has already taken the sting out of them by stating flatly that he will select a highly qualified VP, given his age. I think attacking him on the basis of age is a very poor move and may backfire.
While we're making personal observations, I wonder if anyone else finds Obama's thinness rather striking. There's something odd about his languid temperament and slender build, uncharacteristic of a man nearing fifty (also uncharacteristic of a man whom old photographs reveal to have been chubby in childhood).
Michelle Obama works with a personal trainer and looks athletic. Obama may be athletic also, but I don't think exercise alone could account for his appearance. He says he never smoked heavily and is now a non-smoker. He says he long ago gave up cocaine. How do you account for it?

They don't have to attack him. All they have to do is show a few videos like the one below, that shows McCain a doddering old guy.
This is the best the GOP has to offer?
The video at the link below shows McCain as a tottering old guy who stammers and makes significant misstatements even in this short speech.
In politics, one misstatement or misstep can ruin a career. A Lazio encroachment. A Deaniac scream. An Allen macaca moment.
McCain made 2 slip-ups in this single video. He stumbles on the word
dispirited and then replaces it with
spirited. Then, he stumbles by calling himself a
conservative liberal Republican and replaces it with
conservative Republican.
Then, McCain ended this short speech by vowing to continue to infringe on and quell First Amendment rights, when he says that
527's should be outlawed.
This is who the GOP is sending to challenge Obama or Clinton??????
McCain a 'Proud Liberal'? (Video)
Watch this
Must See video and then visualize this guy going up against Obama in a series of debates.
