true, Mccain indeed has a good probability not to finish his term in office even if he doesnt die or anythin... a mere sickness or mental pressure for that matter can have harsh implications on a guy his age, and this job makes those men who went in with younger looking black hair, to walk out with major white areas on their heads! it makes u old, i donno what can it do to an already old person!

So, the VP especially in this particular election and for McCain, is very important to be as good as the possible next president himself who has worked most of his campaign on the "experience" issue...
