John McCain Watch: McCain’s Melanoma
John McCain and his scars from skin cancer surgery
The New York Times has everything anyone wants to know about John McCain’s bout with the skin cancer – Melanoma.
The short answer is yes he will live through a four year Presidency. Flap doubts at his age that he would run for re-election at 76, but who knows?
This is why Vice Presidential selections are so important. Hillary or Obama could just as easily develop a life threatening illness while in office. Hopefully not.
If anything, Senator McCain’s illness will heighten awareness of skin cancer and spur others to see their doctor immediately if they detect a skin abnormailty.

Barack Obama Watch: Obama Wins Wyoming Caucuses
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama D-Ill. smiles as he walks around on stage during a campaign rally Friday March 7, 2008 in Laramie, Wyo.
Barack Obama has won the Wyoming Democrat Party Caucuses.
Sen. Barack Obama captured the Wyoming Democratic caucuses Saturday, seizing a bit of momentum in the close, hard-fought race with rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination.
Obama had 58 percent, or 4,138 votes, to Clinton’s 41 percent, or 2,876 votes with 21 of 23 Wyoming counties reporting.
Obama won at least seven delegates and Clinton won at least four, with one Wyoming delegate still to be awarded. In the overall race for the nomination, Obama led 1,578-1,467. It will take 2,025 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.
Obama will take the victory in a state, Wyoming, that has not been carried by a Democrat Presidential candidate since 1964.
This is in keeping with his strategy of winning in small red states.
But, this win will blunt any Hillary momentum (from Ohio and Texas) and now onto Mississippi (another red state) this next week where Obama is leading in the polls.

Day By Day by Chris Muir March 8, 2008
You mean like some races calling each other profane derogatory names but NOT allowing other races to use the same words in characterizing them?
Or do you mean by having policy wonk advisers denigrate your opponent as a “MONSTER?”
Flap supposes all of the above.
