I saw that — it was before the debate. In his opening statement, McOldMan said Kennedy was IN the hospital … and asked everyone to pray for him.

Now you may think that my knowing this (along with millions of others), when McCain didn’t, is trivial. I say it isn’t. If he can’t keep up, is he qualified to be president? You may say he is too busy to keep up with Kennedy. Yes. But HE chose to make that statement in the debate, and surely just one of his handlers could have known that. Right?
