I am hopeful that when McCain designates his younger and (maybe) more conservative running mate, the age issue will fade.

The issue won’t fade if the media takes it up as they did against Fred Thompson: no fire in the belly, too tired, etc. And some in the media will by just constantly posing the question about age and energy level. The veep might help, but most will still vote based on the presidential nominee.
But Obama does run a risk of beginning to look like a lightweight and an elitist to more and more voters. Some combination there.
McCain is in if the Dhims aren’t able to cheat with their vote frauds like last time.
Who Mac picks for VP is important. I just don’t know who would be the ‘ticket’.
