Whats interesting to me is that had McCain been elected hedve 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.
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.

If you want to see “silent generation” (born 1925 to 1945)leadership, then start running the birth dates of the famous Hippies, bands, musicians, activists, etc, of the 1960s and early 1970s, when boomers Sarah Palin and Obama, were little kids.

And that’s barely even close at all. They were/are both Veeps and not even born in the 30s.
It’s weird, isn’t it? 10 years of births and yet not one of those millions (tens of millions?) of people ever lead this country.
I wonder if there are other instances of that earlier in our history.
My parents were older than yours, born in 1926, but they didn’t have children until the late 50s, rather old for that time.
