This isn't the first attack by democrats on John McCain's age and it certainly won't be the last. But is particularly intriguing considering it is coming from John Murtha, who is 75 years old himself.
Presumptive Republican nominee John McCain is under fire from a Democrat in the House, but it's not for his economic policy or campaign financing. Rather, the Arizona Senator was blasted by Rep. John Murtha Wednesday for his age of 71 years, which Murtha said made him too old to be president. “This one guy running is about as old as me,” the 75-year old Pennsylvania Democrat told a union audience. “Let me tell you something, it's no old man's job.”

McCain's age has drawn concern from Republicans and Democrats alike. If elected, McCain would be the oldest first-term president, turning 72 before the inauguration. Murtha spoke at the AFL-CIO's Building Trades National Legislative Conference before introducing Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton. “I've served with seven presidents,” Murtha told the audience. “When they come in, they all make mistakes. They all get older.”
Dude's Old
I thought it would be interesting to put our technology department to work and have them enhance some photographs to show what McCain would look like at the start of his term, and how he would look at the end of his term. This is what they came up with:



Of course, this all makes McCain's vice-president pick all the more important.
