"Things have gotten a little slow in the Democratic race, so I&amp;#x27;ve been focusing on John McCain. And frankly, what I&amp;#x27;m noticing is a little scary. Basically, McCain is starting to remind me of my hypothetical old granduncle, the one who comes over at Christmas and alarms everyone with how doddering he&amp;#x27;s become, even while he&amp;#x27;s thundering away about this, that, and the other. In a corner. All alone. Have you noticed this, too? First there was the Iran &amp;amp;quot;gaffe,&amp;amp;quot; which didn&amp;#x27;t just make McCain look like he didn&amp;#x27;t have that foreign policy &amp;amp;quot;experience&amp;amp;quot; he claims, but also that he&amp;#x27;d&amp;amp;nbsp; just had the kind of memory lapse that you just don&amp;#x27;t recover from at his age. Then there&amp;#x27;s the &amp;amp;quot;autobiographical tour&amp;amp;quot; that he&amp;#x27;s been doing, which has basically reminded me that the America that he&amp;#x27;s so nostalgic about is long gone. He&amp;#x27;s been talking a lot about picking a vice-president soon, and making little jokes about how important it is to pick the right one, but no one&amp;#x27;s laughing. And now he&amp;#x27;s huffing and puffing about the &amp;amp;quot;100 years of war&amp;amp;quot; business that Obama&amp;#x27;s quickly latched onto, but he doesn&amp;#x27;t have an effective response, and the image he&amp;#x27;s projecting is: Kids, get offa my lawn! Yikes. Apparently, I&amp;#x27;m not the only person who thinks so: one Democratic blogger said the Dems can win by seizing on this image of McCain and painting him as a &amp;amp;quot;psychotic Abe Simpson.&amp;amp;quot; (Ouch.) Even some Republican commentators are worried that McCain may be turning into &amp;amp;quot;Bob Dole,&amp;amp;quot; an accusation which seems to point to a crotchety curmudgeon who seems like he&amp;#x27;d be just as happy sitting on the porch jawing about the good old days as he would be running the country. A little advice for John: Americans want to see vitality, and they want to hear about the future, not the past. Time to start dotting your i&amp;#x27;s and crossing your t&amp;#x27;s in those speeches. Get some young people on that stage, and for goodness&amp;#x27; sake, get Megan McCain on the stump, too. Convince us that you&amp;#x27;ve got plenty of clear-headed years left in you. I may love my old granduncle, but I sure don&amp;#x27;t want him to run for president.&amp;amp;nbsp; Do you think McCain is starting to act a little, you know, senile? &amp;amp;#8212;Caille P.S. Senile is one thing, cheating is another. Would you vote for a candidate that was unfaithful to his/her spouse? Take this Glamocracy quiz!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
