At age 60, Hillary Clinton should have had regular pap smears, breast exams, mammograms, and colonoscopies. She should release the results of all these tests.
Was this necessary or did his campaign just do this to try to dispel the rumors that he isn't in good shape?
I don't ever remember hearing this type of thing before.
Yea, its been done before, recall other candidates/incumbents doing such. Also, I recall hearing about the NYT crying something a bit recently about their "concern" of his health. Its my understanding that McCain released these records mainly due to that flak, helped raised by the NYT's article. Yes, the health, mental and physical, of an elected official or one campaigning to be is important - but its NOT the only factor. What they stand for, their goals/agendas for the country, path forward to get to safe and prosperous and environmentally friendly place, that to me is most important.

We have absolutely no reason to know those results and to subject one candidate to a medical review that is different based on gender would be sexist. We don't need to know specifics only that they are healthy enough to carry the load of President. You know this posts only gives fuel to Hillary supporters who want to cry sexism. So unless this is a setup I would hope it goes away.

McCain's medical report was detailed enough. See here:John McCain 2008 - John McCain for President (http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainrecords/ - broken link) It describes, among other things, that McCain has an enlarged prostate. If you recall, the prostate gland is a male-specific organ. Was McCain being subjected to a medical review appropriate to his gender? Of course he was. But that's because he is male, and the tests for a male would have to be different than the tests for a female.
If McCain can disclose the findings of his exam, why should Hillary Clinton not do the same thing? Or for that matter Barack Obama? Your charge of sexism is phony. You are carrying the baggage of political correctness a bit too far. Nobody is subjecting Hillary Clinton to a medical review based on her gender for the purpose of discriminating against her. A medical review of Hillary Clinton would necessarily have to take her gender into account, since a female would require a different kind of testing than a male would. It is simply a fact that males and females have different anatomies. Hillary Clinton needs a pap smear while McCain needs a prostate exam. That's just the way it is.
McCain has released the result of his prostate exam. It is therefore fair to let Hillary release the result of her pap smear, breast exam, and mammogram. There's nothing sexist about that.
Well, where are Obama's med. records? The dude is super-skinny, arguably gaunt. Also, he has taken more days off from the campaign to rest than Hillary has! Records, please!

Skinny? Arguably gaunt? http://blog.lib.umn.edu/carls064/fre...Obama-Surf.jpg I don't know what your weight is, but I think a lot of Americans have gotten so fat these days that a lean person to them is now labelled "skinny" and "gaunt".
Now show us pics of McCain in a swimming trunk and Hillary in a two-piece bathing suit.

He is very fral for a man his age, its from all the drugs and chain smoking he has done.
Without a suit on he looks like he is a 80 year old unhealthly man. My 80 year old grandpa looks better then him.
I dont think he is healthy enough to be President!!
Now excuses for being skinny, ohh.. He is not just skinny, he is unhealthy and is frail too.
Chain smoking and doing drugs like he has does this to you.
Where are his recent records and his complete physical exam at?
I would like to see Michelle Obamas medical and financial records too. Unless of course she has something to hide.......
