Please, oh please, Phil will turn 67 in a few weeks. He's a nice guy, but unfortunately comes off looking and talking like a 75 year-old hayhead.
Plus, he's been out of the public eye for too long. A double-geriatric ticket just won't cut the mustard.
Gramm has been an advisor to the McCain presidential campaign since 2007 and has been rumored to a running mate to McCain for 2008.
I doubt we have to worry too much about this aspect, though. I doubt if McCain would pick someone that close to him in age.....plus this rumor didn't create much of a stir whatsoever except maybe in Texas.
I would like to see Gramm in some appointive position, however. His conservative economic philosophy would be a much-needed addition to a McCain presidency.
I still revere him for the "pulling the cart/sitting in the cart" analogy.

So, he’s the same age as Fred Thompson.
