McCain too Old?

Ironically Senator John McCain seemed to blossom late and is just now ready to undertake the office and most likely do quite well. McCain appears to be at ease with the role he assumes as well as passionate toward the platform of his choice. I refer to his platform as to his choosing because I believe he has found the necessary means and conviction to control his destiny among the fellow republicans assumed snakes and such creatures venomous.

McCain's physical being has never once been questioned by anyone who is acquainted with him yet his emotional, spiritual focus until recently has been clouded and considered irrational and insincere. At present Senator J. McCain has rededicated himself to the "grass roots" campaign and is traveling via bus to meet and greet the average American hoping to gain a true homespun advantage. Maturity is never beyond reach as Mr. McCain will attest and whether one is 70 or 17
knowledge, wisdom and insight are virtues well worth the acquisition. Seldom are our political leaders upon their middle age when chosen to this high office and as McCain reaches into his seventies he does so worn yet certainly durable and of superior spiritual strength. His age should have absolutely nothing to do with his aspirations or our faith in him striving to achieve them and America should indeed consider the man without question.
