Hi,
I don't think age matters very much -- either way. Judgment, curiosity, life experiences, empathy, leadership, the ability to understand the root of a issue -- these are things that matter.
Lincoln was 52 and inexperienced in national politics.
Kennedy was 43 and came from a position of relative privilege.
Clinton was 46 and came from an average background.
Grant was 46 and he had lots of military experience.

Average "age at ascension" is 54 years old. Youngest is 43; oldest is 69.
Obama will be 48 which is 6 years younger than average, and McCain would be 72, which is the oldest by a little less that 3 years. So what?
Back to energy policy -- has anybody actually read the PDF of Obama's energy policy I linked to?
Where is John McCain's energy policy?
