The man has cancer.

I do not think he, or anyone, would run if they thought they would die enroute to the finish line (which can be defined as either election day or 8 yrs 3 mos after election day). I can’t imagine that from anyone. It would make truly no sense at all. So I believe this is a rational thinking man and he is not concealing anything and believes he is healthy.

The problem is, and will continue to be, that everyone knows the man has cancer. It really doesn’t matter if he thinks he is well or not. It also doesn’t matter if tests are negative right now. The statistics for recurrence are what they are. Now, if there is something special about his variety of cancer that creates new statistics, then perhaps those need to be made clear.

But even beyond that . . . to win the Presidency he has to make his case to people who are not inclined to vote for him — that is, independents. They have to be persuaded. He will start out behind with them. They may only read enough to know he has cancer and not bother reading further.

This would seem a needless burden for the party’s nominee.

McCain has canccer, Rudy has cancer. If, for one minute, Freds wife Jeri thought it would be an issue or a health problem later on, she would not have let Fred run. If the doctors had said, 'Sorry, but we believe it will hurt you in the long run', he would not have run.

I swear every time I hear this crap about his health I really wonder iof people actually take time to READ what the doctors report and what Fred hiumself said earlier in the year. "If it was going to be a problem I wouldn't be thinking of this."

1. Rudy and McCain had cancer too.
2. Who else do we have? FDT is by FAR the best electable candidate we have...it’s not even up for discussion.
