5. He is 50.

He was born in 1953. I heard he and his wife discussing his "young" looks on a program recently.

12. how old he is doesn't matter . . . that he appears so young does . . .

I think one of the Edwards' negatives is that he just looks too young to be president . . . voters are looking for a certain level of maturity, and a really young-looking candidate will have a hard, if not impossible, time overcoming the visual perception that he may just be too young for the immense responsibilities of the presidency . . . I happen to like him, but on stage he'll look like a kid next to "daddy" Bush . . . unfair, I know, but that's politics . . .

11. I saw one of his TV commercials...

...where he said, "I was born 50 years ago..." I think that makes him 50.
