Sen. John McCain went to the doctor's today as reporters intensified their grilling about the 71-year-old Republican nominee's medical condition.

"He is perfectly fine and we'll do the full health release in a month or so," communication director Jill Hazelbaker said.

If he wins in November, McCain would be the oldest president elected to the office. In addition to his age, McCain was diagnosed in 2000 with skin cancer and had surgery.

McCain told reporters today that "Everything's fine...Like most Americans, I go see my doctor fairly frequently," according to the Associated Press.
