and Obama appear together, it will be devastatingly obvious that McCain is a failing, dulled man, with nothing like the razor sharp mind and physical energy of Obama.

We could propose a one-on-one basketball match, I suppose.

  But they have already tipped their hand by claiming Obama slandered McCain by commenting he'd "lost his bearings". Frankly, they made a huge mistake taking this tact. As a NAvy man McCain knows what the phrase means and it has nothing to do with age. But if they want to scream ageism is will only serve to remind people he's a geezer.
