I was trying to find what the professional odd makers were giving

to these statistics, there is a roughly 1-in-3 chance that a 
72-year-old man will not reach the age of 80, which is how old McCain 
would be at the end of a second presidential term. And that doesn't 
factor in individual medical history, such as McCain's battles with 
potentially lethal skin cancer. <<
