All About McCain

[Alex]

I want to be clear, I never said he uses Viagra.

I said, I think that is part of why he handled the question about Viagra insurance coverage vs. birth control insurance coverage so poorly (that one where he sat for 10 seconds rubbing his face trying to come up with an answer and just looked really stupid).

He was trying to think of a way to answer without discussing Viagra and giving sound bites that could be used for ridicule as would be inevitable every time a 70+ man talks about Viagra.

I'm with GD, the risk of vacancy is higher but VP still only comes into play for me if I am not able to make a decision based on the top of the ticket candidates themselves. I'd never say "you know, I like candidate X better than Y, but I wouldn't care for X's veep as president so I'm going to vote for Y."

So unless everything else really were equal, it is moot. I'm interested in who they choose, it just doesn't have an impact.
