"Younger than McCain",

[dkf]

Despite a recent promise from Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean not to make Sen. John McCain's age -- he turns 72 in August -- an issue in the presidential campaign, a senior Democratic operative has started a new website designed to draw attention to just that fact.

Called "Younger than McCain", the website is being run by Steve Rosenthal, a former political director at the AFL-CIO and executive director of America Coming Together, a massive soft money effort organized around the 2004 presidential race. Rosenthal is now a partner in The Organizing Group.

The current content amounts to a 90-second video listing the things younger than McCain -- a list that includes the Golden Gate Bridge, plutonium, Coke in a can and Velcro among many, many other things.

1. I think it's fantastic

Good for them.

When McCain is going to name a fundie as his VP, you bet it's an issue. Whether Dr. Dean makes it one or not.

2. Yes, his VP pick will be a lot more important than Obama's.

3. Well, hopefully, McCain's VP pick will be immaterial in the long run n/t

5. Don't like it myself

It's not his fault he is old. My boss is so old a mortician follows him around, but he still is clear headed and does a darn good job of running things.

8. Age is a factor in my decision making process

I like to weigh all the factors before I make a decision. I am surprised some here do not...
