Word used most often to describe McCain: old

I forgot to blog this tidbit from an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll earlier this month:

The top 10 answers people volunteered when asked to describe presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released Monday. [...]

John McCain:

1. Old, 19 percent
2. Military service, 9 percent
3. Record, qualifications, 8 percent
4. Bush, 7 percent
5. Strength, 7 percent

[...]

Barack Obama:

1. Outsider, change, 20 percent
2. Lack of experience, 13 percent
3. Dishonest, 9 percent
4. Inspiring, 8 percent
5. Liberal, 6 percent

This poll is pretty amazing considering that neither Obama nor his surrogates nor any other Democratic bigwigs have been talking about McCain's age. But apparently it's still a concern for a lot of folks.
