John McCain
An open message from Moby
If elected, John McCain would be the oldest first term president in the history of the united states. This isn't inherently bad, except for the fact that John McCain has had repeated bouts of cancer and is quite possibly exhibiting signs of early onset Alzheimer's and dementia. Given what is known of John McCain's health history, it's altogether reasonable to question his ability to fully serve as commander-in-chief.

When Reggaeton King Daddy Yankee came out during the DNC last week to give his endorsement for John McCain, many were shocked that McCain would align himself with a man who made his fame off of the song "Gasolina," a song that, let's just say doesn't reflect typical Whitehouse family values. We were more shocked with Daddy's reasons for picking McCain: listing him as a fighter for the Hispanic community, and “a fighter for the immigration issue.”
