I'm sure that McCain will pick a VP who's much younger and comes across as more vigorous, just to allay concerns like yours.
There's some speculation that Huckabee is staying in the race to undermine Romney, and is angling to be rewarded with the VP nomination alongside McCain. That's dicey because it will resurrect concerns about Huck's religious agenda. You can be sure his pledge to rewrite the Constitution to bring it into compliance with the Bible will be brought up over and over should he be the VeepNom. But who else might McCain pick? It's either Romney, where there's lots of bitter water under the bridge; or Rudy 911, which is plausible because they've generally been nice and respectful toward one another.
McCain probably can't beat Obama, but the Democratic side isn't over yet, despite the Obama "surge", and Hillary shouldn't be written off yet.
Ya know, Frank, I just love saying this, because it's such an unusual treat: I"m feeling pretty good about the 2008 election, at the thought that no matter how it turns out, America won't lose. Well, maybe if Romney's the guy, there we disagree, but I see him fading and McCain rising. I can live with any one of the three likely winners in November: McCain, Clinton, or Obama. I have my preference, but I won't feel the need to emigrate if he doesn't win. Oops, gender gives it away, but I've already said publicly that I'll vote for Obama in next Tuesday's California primary.
