Thus the Bible sayeth, the dude is too old! 70 years is all you can expect and after that ye be on borrowed time, hardly a time to be plowing new fields or taking up the highest office in the land! Or from Ecclesiastes 3 (King James Version)

1, To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;

2, A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.

McCain, even if the most perfect candidate, is too old. He is in the season of plucking not planting and the process by which the Republican Party choose his Vice Presidential running mate could be the most profound challenge the Republican party faces during this campaign. Because McCain’s greatest opponent in this campaign won’t be Barack Obama but the grim reaper. Life expectancy for white males in the United States is 75 years and statistics for white males with five years in a prison camp aren’t available, but I seriously doubt that it would help that number any.
