Have you noticed that Barak Obama is 45 and not a jogger or an exerciser.<br><br>They are trying to cash in on the fact that McCain is old and that he does not exercise. The trips to the gym are for a reason and they are so transparent. But hey thats politics.

The corporate heads must have thought that this election the coverage would be based on the cotton candy, shallow and nauseating style of Mark Halprin.

Which, when you think about it, turns out to just be another way of showcasing him since half the stuff “found” these days turns out to be ludicrous.

Obama gets 10 times the scrutiny Mccain gets. If McCain makes a gaffe or says something inappropriate, or misnames a country, it's just "McCain being "McCain". It's like the MSM has turned into TMZ.
