Andrea Mitchell doing her continued hatchet job for the Republicans. She is blaming the Democrats for the problems with oil prices, all of Obama's flip-flops, and how all Democrats have been eagerly blocking Republican bills.
It amazes me how the MSM still suck up to the Republicans. I want a media that is free, honest, and does their job. Not partisan propaganda peddlers.

Do not demonize me...I am 70 going on 71 and I watched those 3 videos carefully and I must say that I have the same thing going on here. A two part question is hard to deal with sometimes, and if there is anything moving in the room, it tends to distract. And this man is actually in competition for President? We should be very afraid.

People can have strokes without even knowing it -- they're called mini-strokes.
What are the statistics for having a stroke at age 72 versus having a stroke at age 47? Maybe that's some useful info that should be out there.

The Democrats also have to make a big deal about McCain turning 72 this month because even though voters know that he is old I don't think that it has quite sunk in that he will be 72 entering his first term. We also have to show that he is an old 72 and Obama is a young 47.
When you see McCain without all of that pancake makeup he looks very bad.

What's wrong with him? The same types of things that are wrong with many 72-year-olds in America today. I recognize the signs of early dementia/Alzheimers, as we have several friends and a few relatives who are suffering from same.
I am not demonizing you, kayess. I'm just saying that we need a vibrant (too skinny - LOL!) 47-year-old in the prime of life as POTUS , rather than a fading 72-year-old.
It's going to take a strong, healthy, vibrant, intelligent POTUS to pull this country out of the morass that GWB has created since 2000. McCain is simply not capable of the task at this point in his life.

Cindy, know the warning signs:
If you think that you or someone else is having a stroke, don’t waste your time. Fast diagnosis and treatment increases the patient’s chances of survival and lowers the risk of permanent disability. In order to help you memorize the typical symptoms, think FAST: face, arms, speech and time.
• Face — Does one side of the face drop when asked to smile? • Arms — When raising both arms, does one arm drift downward? • Speech — When trying to repeat a simple sentence, are the words slurred or incorrect?
I CANNOT BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD VOTE FOR THIS MAN HE IS TOO DAMN OLD TO BE PRESIDENT WHY CAN'T EVERYONE SEE THAT. YOU THINK HE'S HAVING PROBLEMS NOW...JUST WAIT TILL AFTER THE CONVENTIONS AND THE CAMPAIGNING REALLY GETS GOING...I'M BETTING HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT...I'M 66 AND THERE IS NOW WAY I WOULD BE DOING THIS...TIME FOR SOMEONE YOUNG TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY AND GET US OUT OF THIS MESS CREATED BY THE REPUBLICANS...

Skills vary among us oldsters. As I have said before, I am 72, quite intelligent, but would not be up to a long campaign for anything. It takes me much longer to retrieve information stored in my brain than it did just a few years ago. I used to watch Jeopardy and come up with 90% of the answers quickly and correctly. Now, I am very slow in similar situations. Can't remember names of people, in particular, until tomorrow or next week. An old friend of mine who was about 14 years older passed away recently and he had a terrific memory until the day he died. But his emotional and physical states were in serious decline and had been for 20 years. McCain looks befuddled to me most of the time, and we know he doesn't go to more than one speaking event and maybe a couple of fund raisers per day. McCain's too damned old to be president.

I just read all your comments, it feels nice to see some intelligence gathered in one place...I'm 51 and my mom died on July 5th of this year at 79 the mental downfall in just 3 months was stunning, it was actually a relief that she died peacefully. Six months before she's working in her garden, happy, three months later she hardly knew me. Among so, so, so many reasons not to vote for a republican in any race whatsoever, this guy will not make it full term. Dementia sucks, but it's a fact of life.

Where in the hell are OUR 527's? Why isn't anyone questioning McCain's 25 years of failures, questionable and illegal activities? I would think that any rational person would expect that after 25 years in the Senate his ideas/policies/programs would have our United States in far, far better shape than it is. McCain is directly to blame for our present situation. Right now, at this moment, the filthy republicans have once again taken to the House floor and are talking about how bad the Democratic leadership is to have abandoned the American people. THEY have the FLOOR all to themselves and the media are lapping it up! Where is Pelosi? Where is Reid? WHY are our leaders NOT leading? This is NO WAY to win an election. WHEN will our side hit back HARD? And I mean not just a gentle tap on the shoulder, I want to see a TKO that puts the filthy republicans away for at least an entire generation.

What's wrong is that McCain has no center. He doesn't have core beliefs. If someone asked me the viagra/bc question, I wouldn't have to research how I voted, I would know that I would require insurance cos to cover birth control.
He has no beliefs. Or he wouldn't hesitate.
Or he has beliefs but he is senile, which we can't say out loud.

Unfortunately for the neocons, Mumbles McCentury McCain doesn't have the intellect to be president. He lacks wisdom in every area and would need a dictionary to debate Harvard Scholar Barack Obama. Senator Barack Obama brings intelligence and love of America and the Constitution to the White House. Barack crosses all party lines (Democratic, Republican, Independent) to create one healthy America respected and loved by the world.

Notice the eye-blinking of McCain in that video. That isn't normal and I believe it's often associated with early Alzheimer's. Anyway, we should all be expressing "concern" about this issue instead of sitting on our asses. Obama is not yet in a position to make that accusation outright, but he can just let us do the dirty work. Hell, I think it's actually true that the old man is losing it, but even if it wasn't, let's just go for it.

The things to look for to see if this is merely fatigue or getting "befuddled" or something more serious is something like what we see in this video - suddenly unaware of what's going on and having to regain your thoughts - and "looping".
If McCain does have alzheimer's or vascular dementia (and I think he does), watch for him in a debate or longer press conference, especially later in the day, to start "looping" what he says, saying the same thing over and over again within a short time period. With one of my relatives, you might be talking about the weather, then start taking about something else, and he'll start talking about the weather as if he were answering a question from five minutes ago.
If McCain were president and regularly turned in the kind of public performance seen in this video and others, staffers would probably be talking about the Constitution and lines of succession, questioning how long McCain might be competent to carry out the duties of the office.
Again, it's not a matter of age - everyone ages differently - but there's something wrong with McCain's health here. He's changed, just in the past three or four years.

While it for sure does not mean that McCain has no mental difficulties, it seems to me that what we might be seeing is a malfunction of some "feed him the answers" electronic system -- ala GWB in the debates with the strange hump on his back.
Two clues it seems to me: He seems to be fiddling with his watch and sleeve in a strange way. But most telling to me is that when he does finally "reconnect" with the thought stream it seems to have nothing whatever to do with what the reporter is repeating. She has not said enough at that point to reactivate question recall or the point. McCain just suddenly is "reconnected" (perhaps literally) and also obviously suddenly has ants in his pants to recover. He tries to interrupt the reporter several times, clearly no longer needing any restatement of the question. Could that be because his "system" is working again and he has now heard the answer?
Perhaps all this is just wishful thinking on my part: IF he employing some electronic device to deceptively get answers from an able minded person in everyday scenes, somebody needs to figure out how to jam and expose that system AFTER the nomination is officially his. Bye bye Repugs.
