The age issue won't go away, and I think Obama will capitalize on it. McCain is truly too old to lead the world's most powerful nation.
Obama: McCain 'losing bearings' Quote:

Obama got a taste of what is ahead following an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on ''The Situation Room,'' where Obama said McCain is ''losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination.'' Obama was reacting to a statement McCain made that Obama is favored by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas. Last month, Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said they liked Obama.

McCain senior adviser Mark Salter shot out a memo saying the ''bearings'' crack was ''not a particular clever way'' of making an issue of McCain's age. Obama's ''new brand'' of politics, said Salter, was really an attack, and that ''is called hypocrisy.''

I'm sure that age is an issue at some point. Obama's 46, and in 4 years he'll be an "old-timer" and irrelevant according to some members on this board. But McCain at this advanced age, is certainly too old to withstand the rigours of this office.
He is no Ronald Reagan.
