An insurance actuary would probably say that Palin is about 10 times more likely to become president than Biden.

McCain is 72 years old today. He has had serious health problems. He has problems with anger management. His father died of a sudden heart attack at 70. His grandfather died of a sudden heart attack at 61.

Are you ready for President Palin?

This is the first candidate on a national ticket that I had never seen before the nomination. I had heard of her because of her connection to energy news but I would bet that at least 50% of Americans have never heard of her.

Then there is the problem of what happens if a President McCain lapses into dementia or becomes otherwise incapacitated during his term in office?

He is already showing early signs of Alzheimer's with his constant memory lapses.

Voters can't just think of his physical and mental condition at 72. They should be concerned with his potential condition at 76 or 80.
