What’s interesting to me is that had McCain been elected he’d’ve been the only person elected to the presidency who was born in the 1930s.

Now I suppose that will never happen, unless Ron Paul pulls some kind of rabbit out of a hat.

"Forgotten Generation" indeed.

They're part of the "Silent Generation," those born between 1925 to 1945, give or take. The closest to the Presidency they've gotten were VP's CHeney (b.1941) and Biden (b. 1942). That's my parents generation too, Dad born in 1937 and Mom in 1938.
