Obama or McCain: who’s feeling the campaign pain?
So which of the presidential candidates has a sore hip? The 46-year-old or the 71-year-old? Both have birthdays next month and both appear to be feeling the pain of the campaign trail.
Democrat Barack Obama, who turns 47 on Aug. 4, saw a doctor at the University of Chicago Medical Center Sunday night because of a sore hip. Spokesman Robert Gibbs said the soon-to-be Democratic presidential nominee said the soreness was the result of a recent basketball game.
But Republican John McCain, who will be 72 on Aug. 29, also got off to a shaky start to the week, health-wise.
McCain had a spot removed from his face Monday during a routine checkup by a doctor in Phoenix. A campaign aide described the procedure as “cautionary.” The presumptive GOP nominee has had four malignant melanomas surgically removed since 1993.
