THE LAST WORD

Anna Quindlen

How Old Is Too Old?

Race, gender—they're both up for grabs in this presidential election. It's age that has become the new taboo in a vitality culture.

    Comment: Quindlen usually has sensible ideas, but this whole age thing is just a smoke screen for not wanting McCain. I can understand not wanting McCain because of policy, beliefs and things like that, but the age in McCain's case is irrelevant. 71 is often too old, I'm sure, but I don't believe it is in his case.

    Comment: WHEN THE PHONE RINGS AT 3 AM , I DON'T THINK MCCAIN WILL BE ABLE TO GET UP WITHOUT A GOOD NIGHTS REST.. I LIKE THE GUY, I DISAGREE WITH HIM ON MANY ISSUES BUT HE SAYS WHAT HE BELIEVES , I JUST THINK HE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE NEEDS OF THE NATION, AND WE DONT NEED SOME STUBBORN OLD GUY DOING WHAT HE THINKS IS RIGHT, THATS JUST WRONG.
    HI AGE IS A BIG PROBLEM, WE NEED A YOUNGER MORE ENERGIZED LEADER.

    Comment: McCain's mother is 95. That's great but he doesn't mention that his grandfather died at age 61 and his father died at age 70. He has already outlived them. He is too old.
