Did McCain have a minor stroke?

Yesterday, his left eye was partially closed and the left side of his face seemed to be drooping.
I say this because I had a minor stroke a few years ago and I am seeing the same physical symptoms that I had. His eye looks better today.....but......I was able to speak.....but.....my face had the same droopiness as he had yesterday.

3. Call Dr. Frist

He'll be able to diagnosis this since McCain is all over the tube.

4. The consensus yesterday seemed to be a botox injection

After all, he did spend a little over $5000 on "makeup" as reported on his FEC filing. Keep in mind that makeup is normally applied by the TV people.

6. consensus? no.

most people in the threads I saw about it thought stroke/mini-stroke, metastasized melanoma tumor in the brain, or exhaustion

5. McCain's left eye

I have been noticing this too. His left eye is off- and he usually has his left fist closed.
I doubt this is botox related.
Look at the photo on the front page of the NY Daily News

8. I noticed the same thing.

I only wish Senator McCain the very best of health. But, realistically, we have to understand that a vote for McCain, for POTUS, is a vote for Palin for POTUS. McCain will not make it through a first term, he might not even make it to the election.

9. I know one thing: they would never admit it if it did happen!

Another thing I notice, he can't seem to make any kind of statement these days without looking down at index cards. Don't remember that being the case before.

10. I noticed the weird eye yesterday too. Don't know what to attribute it to

but a minor stroke is a possibility.

He doesn't look well.

11. My wife mentioned that whenever he's lying, which is most of the

time, his left eye twitches.

What a tell!

I wish he was a poker player, I'd like to get my hands on Cindy's money!

He looks like he has one foot in the grave, and the other one on a banana peel.
