| Norton, you're correct, and even more so, there is a 'perception' and expectation that the President be a vibrant man. Reagan managed to keep up that impression with hair dye, a great smile and engaging style. He was also beloved as a decent B movie actor (Bedtime for Bonzo?) He was also a master at controlling his situations. He never got in over his head.
McCain has none of those skills, so his age is out there for all to see. It's more exposed this time.
It's a problem. |
