McCain has reportedly had melanoma four separate times. This one in three chance of dying business has been repeated throughout the blogosphere and I’ve heard on liberal talk radio too. My hunch is that this factoid is coming through a surrogate of the Obama campaign; it is entirely possible that someone actually ran an actuarial table with a 72-year old melanoma survivor and came up with one in three.
