There is wild speculation on the Internet about the cause of John McCain's eye affliction.  Here is the latest.

Well, according to several Internet sources, the 72-year-old presidential hopeful is suffering from an ailment called “Bell’s Palsy,” also known as facial paralysis, not a stroke.

While the condition is admittedly temporary, it does take some time to correct itself. And so, the speculative scuttlebutt is that McCain wants to postpone Friday’s presidential debate, not to “focus on the economy” but to give his aging body time to combat the affliction.

I was watching TV yesterday morning and i noticed his eye, then i came to work and a friend of mine brought up the same thing, i thought it was just me.  I hope he has a better health plan then i do.  Makes you stop and think how close someone like Palen is to being our president
