As we finally put the endless Democratic Primary race behind us, and heads begin to turn to the general election matchup between Barack Obama and John McCain, we find the opening salvos already flying - from who loves terrorists to who is too old.

But all the back and forth aside, or whether anyone believes McCain's age to be a legitimate issue or not, it is important to know who first openly suggested that McCain is too old to be elected President.

And who was that person?

John McCain.
