Assuming McCain does get elected, the 4 year term is actually more around 8 years on his health, which translates to him being 80 years old on leaving office, ASSUMING he was not re-elected.

And if he was re-elected, well...you do the math. Almost 90 years old.

I mean Jesus pull up a picture of G.W. Bush on google from '99-'00, and then compare it to now, dude looks like he has aged 20 years in 8.

McCain better have a good running mate, because we might be needing him.


haha it would be a blessing to me if he picked someone like Romney or Huckabee, pref Romney. I wouldn't mind him croaking if it meant Romney would be in the office, McCain is not that strong of a candidate without a doubt.
