43 back then was about life expectancy - making it the equivalent of 75 today.
Yes, by the standards of their times, they were old.
Both ought to stay in, and both ought to ignore the he** out of Romney and just take the fight to Obama — We need them in the fight NOW against him, not only on the campaign, but just by keeping pressure on him in general.

Yeah, the whole age thing is entirely irrelevant as people live much longer now.
Remember Reagan in 1980 was 70 years old and one of the single greatest issues in that campaign was his age and how he would be the oldest President ever elected.
Today Newt is 68 and Hillary if she ever ran would be about 70. Ron Paul is 75. Age just isn’t an issue anymore.
Wow,,,how do you explain Ben Franklin then?
Exactly.
