McCain would probably die in office

John McCain is currently 72 years old. The average lifespan for a male in the USA is 77 and McCain has already had multiple cancers. That means Sarah Palin would become president.

Just sayin'.

term.

Average life expectancy at birth is 77 years, maybe. For each year you actually survive, there's a bump. Having made it to 72, he now has a life expectancy of another 14 years.

That's an average, of course, and many factors (including previous cancers) would go into measuring his "personal" life expectancy.

That was an overall number. A 72 yo male has a life expectancy of 11 years.

We all have seen how the office ages anyone. What would it do to a 72 year old man?

Is definitely one of those factors that should be considered. I was only pointing out that "average life expectancy" is only meaningful at birth.

:sarcasm:

A Rasmussen poll came out recently. I . . . this is unbelievable . . . well, really it's not, considering that, again, I live in a nation of doorknobs . . .

Q. If necessary, is Palin ready to be president?

Yes 40%
No 44%
Not Sure 15%

:wtf:

Q. Who has better experience to be president, Palin or Barack Obama?

Mind you, Palin is not RUNNING for president, but the results?

Obama 49%
Palin 44%
not sure 8%

So, that makes 52% of lobotomy patients, racists, dickheads and sub-idiots.

Astounding. Absolutely Amazing and Astounding.

I used to think that the idea of the average voter having to take a test before he or she is allowed to vote was ridiculous . . . I'm actually starting to rethink that opinion when I read shit like this.

Granted, I actually am an elitist (in that I think society should be run by the best and brightest) but I've always felt that the problem with democracy is that the masses are so damn stupid.

no way no how no mc cain.

the very best of the best health care available, the kind that's too socialist for the rest of us. He might live to be 110.

For medical reasons.

The far-right cabal that is installing Palin would love to shove out McCain. And she's conniving and self-serving enough to lend a hand. Look for him to be marginalized very quickly with Palin and the cabal taking over. He may or may not remain as a figurehead. If he doesn't play ball well enough, then he will be asked to step down and there'll be a big patriotic hanky-wringing send-off.

and her supporters are counting on it. And that should scare the shit out of all of us, including mclame.

I posted this a while back so it's a repack.

THE ABOVE IS FROM A STANDARD ACTUARIAL TABLE OF LIFE EXPECTANCY.
THE FACTS ARE THAT THERE IS A 37% CHANCE OF MC CAIN DYING IN OFFICE
AND PALIN WOULD HAVE 2 CHANCES IN 5 OF BECOMING PRESIDENT BY ASSUMING
THE PRESIDENCY

As you might have figured, I was just using the average at birth.

Out of curiosity, what are the chances of Biden having to take over due to Obama's death?
