Is John McCain Going Senile?

I'm not trying to make fun of people with Alzheimer's disease, but let's be realistic about this. Mr. McCain has been making a lot of what are called "gaffes" over the past 3 weeks or so. He's changed his position on multiple topics, and, frankly, doesn't seem to know what he's saying some of the time. Is this a symptom of a serious health issue? He is, after all, going to 72 years old next month.

The "gaffes" he's been making are not, in my opinion, trivial. They are serious verbal mistakes and indicate, to me, that Mr. McCain may be having serious memory issues. I think it is time for the mainstream media to take a serious look at this pattern and report, honestly, to the American public.

McCain's age is an issue in this campaign. After his birthday next month he will be the oldest person to ever run for the presidency and that is something the public should take into account in the voting booth.
