McCain probably has a better chance of being alive 8 more years than Obama if you compare their family histories. His father was an alcoholic and had serious health problems before crashing his car and killing himself at age 46. His mother was 51 when she died of ovarian cancer.Gary R.

John McCain has not taken a test for Alzheimers. Given the stress of the job, is this something he should do?Vox Populihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174941325997674801noreply@blogger.com
