If you don't like Palin, you don't like Palin.  I can certainly
understand that.  However I don't think it is fair to speculate he is
going to die of old age.  Most people retire, and then lead inactive
lives at his age.  Most people aren't rich, and don't have excellent
health care.  McCain is active, is rich, has excellent heath care, and
has a healthy, active mother in her late 90's.

Active people tend to live longer.  It isn't a given he is just going
to up and die in the next four years.
