He's only 62. That's hardly ancient, especially by Republican standards. With the exception of his idiot brother (who was 54 and 58 in his two elections), that actually makes him YOUNGER than every Republican presidential nominee since 1980.

He only looks older because there's a bizarre number of fortysomethings running for the nomination this time.
