If you want to decide what's questioned or not, what's used or what's not then be a campaign manager

It's ain't beanbag people, it's politics at the very highest level, McCain should be looked into with the equal zeal that Obama and Clinton have been looked into and i suspect that's exactly what will happen hopefully by opposition research.

1. It amazes me that certain things are supposedly "off-limits"...

like his age (not an issue in and of itself, but if it affects his mental accuity, it is a big deal), or his military record (once again, I just don't buy that being a POW for 5 years doesn't seriously warp a person unless they have extensive psychiatric aftercare for decades following thier release). I guess both issues, combined with the numerous accounts of his hair trigger temper make me (and I am willing to bet, others) question if he is mentally and emotionally fit to be POTUS. Nothing should be off limits if it has the potential to affect his ability to do the freaking job!
