“I’ve always been uncomfortable with his friendship with McCain.”
yeah, but that’s an unattractive ticket. 2 old guys. I don’t know how that would go over.
Would a two young guys ticket make you happy? Edwards & Obama? Age should be a non issue here.
2 old guys? Of the last ten presidents, only two were less than 54 when they were elected - JFK and Bill Clinton. Of course, Clinton’s second co-presidency would start when he is 61.5...oops. sorry, I forgot Carter who was a bit over 52. (G-d is great. He let me forget)
Less than one-third of our presidents were under 54 when first elected, and fewer than half were under 60 when they retired. It is not a young man’s job. The younger ones are not a really distinguished group (Clinton - 1st co-presidency, Kennedy, Garfield, Pierce, Polk) The one exception is the youngest - TR...but I don’t see a TR on the horizon, do you?
FRed is not older than the baby boomers, fellers. He just didn’t go the botox route.
