Answer To A Question Of Age

This was reported by Steve Benen in Crooks and Liars today. The Candidate Characteristic We’re Not Supposed To Talk About:

"But the one question that no one seems anxious to talk about is the fact that John McCain, at age 72, would be the oldest person ever elected president. There’s apparently some public discomfort over this, but it’s ground that few are prepared to tread...Voters may not be comfortable with McCain’s age, but figuring out what to do about this may be one of the more complicated questions facing Dems in the general election."

Sez Who?

Steve then further asks the question,

"Here’s the catch: Americans may not like the idea of a 72-year-old candidate, but no one has any idea how to take advantage of this. What are Dems supposed to do, tell elderly jokes? That’s clearly not going to happen."

Steve's right and the Democrats don't have to do that. Colbert, Leno, Letterman and Stewart will take care of that aspect. All the Dems have to do his show how the Office wears and tears on any one elected to be the POTUS.

Like this:








That should take care of the problem.
