A Huffpost headline on the Republican debate last night was "Ten middle-aged white men."

Well, not really. McCain is 70 or 71. Giuliani and Romney are pretty close to Medicare themselves. The clearly middle-aged candidates are Huckabee and Brownback among the Repu and Obama and Edwards among the Dems. The rest are all pretty much old.

Physical decline in humans is evident at 40 and prominent at 50. Ditto for some types of mental function. Knowledge and experience is worth something until 60 or so, but it's downhill from there.
