What does that mean? Trying too hard to look presidential? It sounds like a bunch of gabbly gook. But if we're discussing looks, Fred Thompson is just 4-years older than Romney, but he looks not a day under 20 years older. Is that the face that screams vitality and strong leadership to the American people? Of course not.



But I would hope that the American people could look beyond what both Thompson and Romney look like and get beyond what they said years ago and look at their recent records and what they're saying, what they've been doing, what ideas they have for the country, and what skills they bring to the table.

Appearance counts; primarily to people who are shallow in their thinking and not particularly informed. What is in the brain and gut that truly counts.

I’m sure Romney is a fine man with good qualities and much preferable to McCain or Rudy, but Thompson is a genuine conservative with a strong inner core.

Fred Thompson is just 4-years older than Romney...

Fred Dalton Thompson (born August 19, 1942)

Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947)

I thought there was more difference than four, so I did a date calculation. It is closer to 5 years than 4.

From and including: Wednesday, August 19, 1942
To, but not including : Wednesday, March 12, 1947

It is 1666 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date

Or 4 years, 6 months, 21 days excluding the end date

Alternative time units

1666 days can be converted to one of these units:

• 143,942,400 seconds
• 2,399,040 minutes
• 39,984 hours
• 238 weeks.

  They were both born on Wednesday. Spooky, huh?
