He might not make it through, but IMO, he appears to be in reasonably good health for his age and all that he's been through. Mentally, he still seems sharp. Obviously, his VP choice will take on a greater importance than it will for most candidates. I'd also argue that while McCain's age and history make him more vulnerable to serious illness than the others, those two are certainly old enough to be at significant risk from many of the same illnesses as McCain.

While he's admitted some shortcomings in economic understanding, his stated policies are generally correct in my opinion and I believe would be beneficial if carried out fully. Now whether he actually understands them or is just repeating what an advisor has told him, I don't know. In fairness, however, no president can be an expert in all policy matters and I expect some areas of relative weakness, although in these times, admittedly, that's not the best weakness to have. Interestingly, McCain's two economic advisors have polar opposite views of economic policy. That's either a good mixture of views, or its a recipe for conflicting policy.

You know, its funny that you mention Hillary. There's a McCain faction and an Obama faction on these boards. Where are the Hillary supporters? I'm sure they're out there, but I don't think I've seen a single one on ATS.

3-4 years later, after being strongly anti-Obama....I will be voting for him for a second term.
