Did John McCain suffer a mini stroke today?

The first part of the video shows some kind of seizing on the left side of John McCain's face. The last part shows confusion when McCain was leaving the stage.

Of course, there is more than one way to explain this. Many politicians have gotten confused when leaving a stage or a room. People laugh at president Bush because he is famous for getting lost when trying to leave a stage or room. As for the twitches in McCain's face, he has had surgery to remove cancers, and during those surgeries, his seventh cranial nerve, which controls facial movements was damaged. However, both events, the twitching and confusion, happening together, are not a good sign. Something may be wrong, but if there is, I am sure that doctors have it under control. On the other hand, it may be nothing.

Much ado about nothing, or possible ministroke? NOTE: With proper medical intervention, strokes rarely impair one's mental faculties, but even if it somehow did, I am sure that McCain would not be half as brain dead as Bush was.

And, of course, there could be a third reason. Just the same kind of twitch that so many other people normally have.

What do you think?

He was talking about the little people and out of reflex pointing to his half brother George.

It would be nice to see a full speed video of the "stroke" that's more than a quarter second long.
