disclosure

Presidential historian Robert Dallek calls on Barack Obama and John McCain to fully disclose their medical histories. Sure, it's an invasion of privacy - but that's the price of running for President.

Dallek's right. One three-hour examination of papers without allowing notes, copies, or a doctor in the room (McCain), or a single-page health history (Obama) isn't sufficient. Let alone questions about Joe Biden's heart, or Sarah Palin's (alleged) trip from Texas to Alaska after her water broke in order to give birth in Wasilla.
