The Des Moines Register is trying to be even-handed and not choose one party over the other. So are you comparing McCain to Hilary? Not enough said.
The same article in The Economist says McCain is not too old. "McCain is an extraordinarily energetic 70-year-old, far more full of beans than many younger candidates." I have watched him on the Colbert Report show. McCain is very healthy. He doesn't jump around and wave his arms nor does he yell and scream. Very calm, cool and collected. I have no doubts that he is fit. He may soften his stance a little on immigration: there are too many people who want to staunch illegals. Cannot predict now that Hilary will win a debate. McCain is very sharp-witted. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Madigan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 12:43 AM Subject: Re: [OT] McGain seems to be gaining > The Des Moines Register also endoresed Hillary > Clinton.
