Apparently it's not just me who has noticed that John McCain has seemed more out of touch than usual lately. The latest gaff, with him not understanding or not knowing that Spain was even part of Europe and his rant about only willing to meet with leaders "who want to work with us cooperatively", implying Spain might be some sort of terrorist state have everyone wondering. Is McCain still of sound mind?
The NY Times wondered aloud why he had so much trouble speaking about the economy, especially his "the fundamentals of our economy are string" line. Then the story went on to enumerate the many times he supported deregulation and insisted that the economy was strong even though only hours later he denied it.
Time magazine's Joe Klein went so far as to ponder why increasing numbers of people are calling McCain a liar. His voice was not alone.
McCain's campaign seems to be in disarray, and his thinking is as well. He seems muddled and often befuddled when he is questioned and I have to wonder if he would be mentally up to the job of president. After all, every president ages precipitously once in office, and can we afford a doddering swiftly aging McCain as president when his successor is an unqualified hockey-mom with absolutely no foreign policy experience or for that matter knowledge?
