Passing judgment on McCain because of his age or health is just as bad as judging Obama by his race. Like I said - it's just one more reason to give Obamainites reason to bicker.
The reason there is relevance to McCains health, is the fact that there is a possibility he could die during his term if elected, so the public should know this, and take in into consideration when he chooses his VP.
Yeah, so could Obama. He has a good chance of contracting Lung cancer from his heavy smoking.
I want to see his xrays.
Hahah are you serious, xrays? He is an intermittent smoker shown to be in perfect health. Regardless, I think a statement from both parties from a doctor like this would be fine. There is no need for pages and pages of records from McCain or Obama, but lets be serious, McCain has a much higher change of dying while in office, even from natural causes. I'm just saying, people need to keep that in mind when he chooses a VP.

Oooh! Oooh! And a brain scan, too, please. You just know a brain scan will get plenty of media attention--and all the comedians will love having proof that he has a brain. I'm tellin' ya, this is a pr goldmine.
So, you wouldn't have been whining and wailing if McCain released just a "statement" from the doctor? That would have been sufficient for you?
Absolutely. If they released a detailed statement such as Obama's, it gives enough information on the general health of the candidate. I don't need to know if his bowel movements are regular.
I don't need to know if his bowel movements are regular.
Oh sure we do! Let's have a side by side comparison of McCain's and Obama's bowels.
Why not? You know who's going to come out ---err, umm, "squeaky clean." It's harmless, easy to provide, and it'll keep all those people who love sensationalism too busy to cause trouble.
Sounds like a no brainer. Ooops, that's what they'll say when they do a brain scan on McCain!

There is always the possibility that a president could die in office, and yes his VP choice should be a good one.
By the way, last time I checked there was no such thing as 'perfect' health.
Let's be honest though. Age-wise, there is a way higher chance of McCain kickin' in while in office.
Indeed. But if this election so far hasn't killed him, there isn't much that can.
