Watching the Republican debate on Fox tonight I was feeling wonderful about how great our candidates are, until I realized that they would have to convince the unwashed masses of the Democrats that they were a better choice. They all seem so old. How old are they?
All are older than Bill, and younger than Reagan, except McCain. I don't think this matters, but I was wondering, so I gathered the info.
Jay Tea adds: Being the math geek I am, I ran the numbers Charlie so thoughtfully provided. The Republicans' average age is 63, the Democrats 56. McCain and Obama really blow the curve for both.
Charlie adds: Ron Paul is older than any other. And goofier.

You forgot Ron Paul. He polls better than Giuliani and Richardson and has more delegates for the convention than either.

I added Ron Paul just for Jadinero1. This skews the average up a bit.

Sometimes people look at youth and see lack of experience. It can go both ways...
