just as in senile, senescent, and so on.

Lautenberg & Helms died in office. Probz others Seniorators, too.

McCain has the same goal.

the Moderate Republicans to remove the stain of the Tea Party come-latelys. And, Arizona...of Jan Brewer and Shurf Arpaio fame...has already set up a state exchange for ACA.

Perhaps he is redeeming himself for, you-know-who.

Saw him in an interview recently. That man is sharp, old, and damn wise. Age should be considered strictly on a case by case basis

toll that especially the Presidency requires. He's been retired for a long time.

We watch all of them age quickly...gray hair...new wrinkles, etc. more than any office below them. It's the mental and physical stamina that gets drained and younger folks can recover faster than seniors. American presidents have immense personal and political burdens to bear, lose sleep, travel, have almost every move watched.

Because it is so uniquely draining a job. But the right person can serve well in the Senate into their 80's with the help of a well selected staff.

In the movie, McCain told Steve Schmidt that he would never retire because his dad and granddad both died after they ceased to work. I am not surprised by McCain's desire to run again but I do think that he may be vulnerable.

is work, chances are you will die soon after retiring. I have lots of plans for hobbies, travel, etc, if I get to retire. Work pays the bills, it does not define me

Shopping carts... Younger than John McCain.

Duct tape... Younger than John McCain

Nachos... Younger than John McCain.

Social Security... Younger than John McCain.

The Golden Gate Bridge... Younger than John McCain.

Mount Rushmore Monument... Younger than John McCain.

Marvel Comics... Younger than John McCain.

Etc.

Enough said?

Two are 80 and three more will hit 80 in the beginning of the year. Over all McCain is the 9th oldest. The problem with McCain is his erratic behavior.
