Chuck Norris – McCain is Too Old to Be President
Republican presidential hopeful, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, right, shares a laugh with television star Chuck Norris Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008 in Navasota, Texas.
Chuck Norris is correct in saying that John McCain is too old to be President.
The Money Quotes:
- “If John takes over the presidency at 72 and he ages 3-to-1, how old will he be in four years? Eighty-four years old — and can he handle that kind of pressure in that job?” Norris said, as Huckabee looked on.
- “That’s why I didn’t pick John to support, because I’m just afraid the vice president will wind up taking over his job within that four-year presidency,” added the action star.
Norris who is 67 knows as many older Americans what the demands of the Presidency would place on a 71 year old McCain.
Would McCain be able to handle the job physically? This is a legitimate question especially since McCain has been treated for Melanoma at least three times and was brutally treated in a POW camp for five years.
Are Americans electing a President or a part-time caretaker for the Vice President nominee?
John McCain’s response:
When asked about Chuck Norris’ comments yesterday in Texas about McCain being too old, the Arizona senator replied, “I’m afraid that I might have to send my 95-year-old mother over and wash Chuck’s mouth out with soap.”
Senator, your mother is not running for the Presidency.
This quip does not deflect the AGE issue from the McCain candidacy.

What is this BS that accoridng to Rasmussen, Florida is boiling down to McCain and Romney?
Flap
Do yo really think the polls are going to reflect the massive GOTV efforts of Rudy? How about the Hispanic community? Polls always lag and I understand there are almost 300,000 absentee ballots out there.
It is the boots on the ground that will put Rudy back in the race and the national media attention.

Several points. I am told by campaigners in Florida that Rudy will win the state big. Second, he is raising a lot of money ( $1million in the last week or so ).Third, where in the hell did Romney come from in this poll? Romney has no natural base in the state. Of course, I have never given much weight to Rasmussen–his methodology has always been questioned by those who know much more about polling than me.
Lastly, no doubt you have seen the latest hit on Rudy by Jonathan Maritn at Politico.com on Rudy’s ” precipitous fall” in whcich he cites the new New York poll. He does concede that if Rudy does win Florida, he can turn it around.
P.S If Romney is the republican nominee, I will join you and become an undeclared voter. Romeny would be a bigger disaster in a general election than McCain.

Did you see the clip when Romney with a bunch of black kids said who let the dogs out?
And , somebody will actually vote for this clown for President.
He is an embarassment.
I will have a post up about this shortly and the video.
We won’t be the only Republicans who will desert the GOP if Romney is the nominee. My bet is that Bloomberg will run and out poll him but still lose to Hillary.

More to report. The internals for Rudy in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties are through the roof. In addition, the absentee ballots for those 3 counties are running in the neighbohood of 300,000. Hispanics are breaking for Rudy in huge numbers.
You may have seen this on Race42008.

Up on my latest post on the main page.

Assuming that Guiliani hasn’t labored in vain, and takes Florida, what happens after that? I think he has more than an even chance on Feb 5. After all, he has New York, and with Arnold not endorsing McCain, he has a good shot at CA too. It just might work.

I agree and notice Rudy is receiving more national news coverage since the circus has moved to Florida.
Rudy is rolling the dice and we will see if it pays dividends in one week.
