Couldn't help but notice there is no refuting about the very real health concerns about history of blood clots. This is a real health concern. Not taunting, nor fantasy, nor make believe. People regularly suddenly drop dead from breakaway clots.
Nobody wants facts, earthlyfather, they just want to sling mud back and forth at each other, as if it somehow makes a lick of difference.
You bring up something legitimate, candidate's health, and everyone seems to forget that they would "never vote for McCain because he's old". Not everyone who voted for that current clown in the WH did so because they actually LIKED that clown.
I wonder why health only matters when it's a Republican candidate and not a Dem one. I guess some libs live in denial.

You really believe that people did not vote for McCain because he is old? The reason I've heard most is that he has anger issues, he exhibited extremely poor judgment with choice of running mate and he's a war hawk. The reason I heard cited most by conservatives was Palin. Your argument omits the fact that Reagan was old and was exhibiting signs of early alzheimer's. I'm pretty sure Reagan was a Republican.
Forget about the messenger - Mr Rove. Ask yourself if you want the possible leader of the 'free world' - Madam Clinton - to come into office at 70 y.o. with a documented history of blood clots. Those babies are not happenstance. They point to fragile health.
Not to mention about who the VP candidate is and her/his qualifications, or lack thereof. Afterall, they might be called upon. Would you want someone like laughing, "Their gonna' put you back in chains.", Uncle Joe Biden leading the country?
A documented history of blood clots, 1998 and again in 2013 are well documented. The only 'conspiracy' comes in if there are other instances of 'other' blood clot episodes, and they have been unreported or hidden.
Neither you or anyone else, including yours truly knows; at the moment.

Take a look at who the Republican vice presidential candidate was under McCain and you'll get your answer as to why Democrats cared so much about health/age when he was running.
Yes, health matters but don't forget that blood clots can happen at any age as can viruses that make you sick enough to fall and get a blood clot. It's not age related and blood clots while serious at the time can be easily dissolved. That is why Hillary's so-called-brain-damage-that-really-wasn't is such a transparent non-issue to anyone with half an ounce of fairness.

That is a good point. The chance of any president getting sick or dying is possible. But if the VP is perceived as someone the country would not want as a leader, people will think twice about it. Choice of VP definitely is important. I think both McCain and Romney thought they were picking someone to carry the base, but the VP for both candidates were too extreme for the rest of the country to want as president. I remember HW Bush and the RNC picked Quayle because they thought he looked like Robert Redford and would therefore carry the female vote. Even though Bush won his first term, Quayle turned out to be a huge liability for Bush.

Gee, maybe the GOP should have thought of that back in 2008.
