several blogs and publications have recently attempted to calculate the odds that John McCain will live another four or eight years, bringing an actuarys dispassion to the delicate subject of the Republican nominees age. Based on the Social Security Administrations life expectancy tables, the Times Online concluded that McCain will live another 13 years, while a Daily Kos diarist calculated that McCains odds of dying naturally during his first term were 15 percent. His odds of not surviving two terms were nearly 1-in-3.
