If McCain wins, would you support a McCain/Palin 2012 ticket?

I am unsure as to why everyone is citing McCain's age as a reason not to support him. Even if McCain does become incapacitated, Amendment XXV, Section IV addresses presidential incapacitation, so the proper mechanisms to deal with such a problem are in effect.

Just because you haven't died yet doesn't mean you are fully with us either.  The last thing we need is a president with Alzeheimers, where is the proper mechanism to deal with that?

 

 

The proper mechanism is Amendment XXV, Section IV. If the president is unable to fulfill his or her duty, the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. If a president ever develops Alzheimer's, I imagine Article IV will, for the first time ever, be invoked.
