Actually he is not that old, 64 is younger than some who have run.

True. In fact, he's younger than two who are currently running: Ron Paul at 72, and John McCain at 71. Oddly, of the three of them, Fred looks the oldest. I wouldn't expect certain voter demographics, such as the soccer moms and swing voters, to ignore it. I'd rather see Fred come up with a lot of soundbites to counteract the age and energy issues rather than pretend they don't exist. His response last night (about highly recommending his brand of "laziness") was a good start. He might do well to have a few of those in his back pocket.

Well that and the fact that he has a 2 year old and a 4 year old don’t hurt...

That's where the ages of his wife and kids can help. He's obviously young enough in some ways.
