BTW, I wonder if all the harping and snide comments about McCain’s age won’t backfire.

I’m only 2 years older than Obama, but I am finding myself becoming offended by young Dems who breezily call McCain “an old coot” “senile” and so on.

Those young people are forgetting that there are an awful lot of “senile old coots” out there and they vote in larger numbers than the under 25′s do. Yes, this country worships youth, but the truth is we ain’t a nation of spring chickens anymore. An arrogant display of contempt for McCain’s age and experience by cocky brats might seriously begin rubbing seniors the wrong way. If you’re a fit and active 68 year old, do you want to hear that 70 year old McCain is ready for the glue factory?
