How did they manage two years of nonstop campaigning without keeling over from exhaustion?
How did they jump on four or five planes a day and travel all over the country and make dozens of speeches and kiss scores of slobbering babies and shake hundreds of hands for so long?
Me, I'm beat if I have to mow the lawn and go to the post office the same day.
What are these guys on that gives them so much energy? Whatever it is, I want to get on it.
Here were Obama and McCain the other night, giving rousing speeches at 11 at night to packed arenas after a full day of jetting around the country, and both seemed fresh as a daisy.
It's impressive to see Barack Obama doing this, but if the man gets any skinnier, he's going to blow away.
(Barack, please, have a Whopper and a milk shake once in a while. It won't kill you. Have room service bring up a quart of Breyer's Dutch chocolate. Live a little.)
But how about John McCain keeping up this pace?
The man's 72 years old! Most folks his age can't stay up past 9:30. I can barely make it through The Office.
And let's not forget that McCain, a genuine war hero, still suffers from injuries he received as a POW. Could you blame him if he took a few days off to sit around the pool with a few pina coladas and relax?
But there's no relaxing now for either candidate.
They've got to get through one more day. So do we.
I hope we can make it.
