Birthday Complicates Timing for McCain more similar news »
Nathan Gonzales from the Rothenberg Political Report sends us this information observation:
"With all of the talk about John McCain unveiling his running mate
immediately after the Democratic National Convention to alleviate
Barack Obama's bounce, there could be a wrinkle in McCain's potential
plans: his birthday."
"McCain turns 72 years old on August 29, the day after the Democrats'
convention. So while the Arizona senator could swipe some media
attention from Obama by announcing his vice presidential choice during
the time between the conventions, the senator's birthday and age will
be a prominent media story. And it will be contrasted even further with
the age of his running mate."

Obama, McCain Tied Among Catholics more similar news »
A new Time poll of Catholic voters that reveals that Sen. Barack Obama has pulled even with Sen. John McCain among that constituency -- Obama now polls 44% to McCain's 45%.
The poll "confirmed that a majority of Catholics (59%) can be broadly defined as pro-life (opposing abortion except to protect a woman's life or health or in cases of rape or incest). But these pro-life Catholics are actually split into two voting camps: conservative Catholics who consider abortion to be a determining factor, and Catholics who feel that social issues can be trumped in times of economic and national insecurity."
