It’s odd to find these questions. I saw McCain on Leno last year. I’m a Democrat, so I wouldn’t have voted for him, but he was smart and funny. He respected and interacted with the audience. He impressed me as very capable. The man I see now is completely different–condescending, frightened, and dull in very way. He just isn’t the same person. He has abdicated decisions about his ad campaign and even his choice of VP to others who are clearly unqualified. Add to that the fact that he does not look good at all, and I half-joked to my husband that he must had had a stroke. If it isn’t a stroke, maybe it’s a brain tumor. My husband and I were also discussing the succession issue–if he doesn’t live until January. I just hope Obama is elected so we won’t have to find out.

I would summize that Shadowfax has no clue what he is talking about. I

As a rehab physician who’s seen a lot of strokes, this presentation is very unconvincing.

It could just be a bad botox injection.
