Ageism or Racism?

Since the elections are just around the corner, I thought I would see if there were any studies being done about voting, and not surprisingly I found one, so today recent study finds... In this particular case, the study was in regards to how registered voters responded to ageism versus racism. Well in this case it appears that more voters would vote against McCain because of his age than against Obama because of his race.

Personally, I have to admit that if I were part of the study I would probably fall along the same lines. In this case, my reasons have very little to do with politics or ideology, being republican or democrat, liberal or conservative, but looking at the tolls of the office. Here are pictures of the last two presidents from the start of their term and near the end. This is not to say that someone older cannot run, but I think that everyone should be realistic about how the stress of the office will take a toll on the health of that person, especially with everything that is happening today.
