McCain's Age an Issue?

With a presumptive nominee locked in for the Democratic Party (Senator Obama), the Democrats are shifting focus on the national campaign against the presumptive Republican Nominee (Senator John McCain). In that battle, the Democrats are unleashing all they’ve got apparently; they keep attacking Senator McCain’s age. The senator from Arizona is 71 years old and would be the oldest president if elected.

The McCain camp is fighting back by saying his age means he has more experience. In addition, they’re trying to portray him in a more “youthful” light, by having Senator McCain hike the Grand Canyon. His aides and his wife climb that the Senator leaves them behind, every chance they get.
