McCain too tired for Presidency?
According to some campaign operatives in Ohio, 70 year old Senator John McCain just couldn’t keep up the demanding schedule set for him during the 2006 campaign season:
“He was tired, he was short, he went his own way.” “Nothing close” to the energy level necessary for a presidential campaign: “He was out of gas well before he should have been.”
