McCain's campaign, instead of just being quiet, does the worst possible thing: they said that Obama is now unfairly attacking McCain's age.
First, let's start with the facts.
Obama said that McCain is "losing his bearings" not "losing his marbles." One of them relates to his politics, the other to his age. Obama did not insult his age. But age is an issue.
If elected president, McCain would be 72 years, 4 months, and 22 days old on inauguration day. For comparisons, Ronald Reagan was just a few days shy of his 70th birthday.
The average age of onset for Alzheimer's is 72.8 years.
Despite the fact that his mother is still alive and in her 90's, women live longer than men. His father died at 70 years old, and his grandfather died at 61.
McCain would be the oldest elected president ever, and I think that is not something we can afford in this world.

Well, he maybe older but he may be good. He also may not have/get alzheimers and may live a long time. Barack should not McCain like Hilary attacks him. He's being as rude as Hilary.
