Independent Group Raises McCain Health Issue
In an attempt to intensify voter doubts about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's readiness for office in advance of Thursday's vice presidential debate, the California Nurses Association has launched an ad raising questions about John McCain's health.
The ad went up in six battleground states -- Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, and Missouri -- this morning, and will run for two days with a low six-figure buy behind it, according to sources familiar with the spot.
That relatively meager amount of spending means that the ad is meant to be more provocative than persuasive, aimed at driving a discussion -- publicly and privately -- about McCain's health. And, the content is decidedly provocative.

I think it's unethical for medical professionals to express an opinion on a patient they've never treated.
I personally believe that if McCain is elected, Palin will probably become the president before the natural end of McCain's term, but I'm not a medical professional, which makes it okay for me to express that opinion.
