First Vice President Cheney is reported to have had more irregular heart beats, now Mrs Ronald Reagan falls and breaks her pelvis.

I don't mean to say these aren't REAL stories to be concerned about; but the thought occurred to me that TODAY of ALL DAYS?  The last Debate between Barack Obama and John McCain.

I sure hope both candidates make note of the health issues of these two people.

But I'm wondering if viewers will have a sudden twinge of sympathy for John McCain and his party --- OR --- will these two OLDER folks having these health issues actually serve to REMIND folks just how close Sarah Palin is to the Presidency?

What do you think?
