A colleague just brought this to my attention:
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — An unflinching John McCain was told Tuesday by New Hampshire high school students he might be too old to be president and too conservative to be respected.
McCain, the Arizona senator whose presidential bid has stumbled through the summer, countered the Concord High School students with humor.
"Thanks for the question, you little jerk," McCain joked back to one student who asked the 71-year-old about his age. "You’re drafted."

McCain, at age 70 now, would be the oldest person elected President. Recent memories of Ronald Reagan’s second term will be hard to shake. One only needs to look at the physical toll eight years in the White House took on younger men like Clinton and George Bush to raise serious questions about whether it is a job for a seventy year old.
Age doesn’t matter in South Carolina anyway. We vote based on names, not ability.
The biggest reason we need the draft, I think, is it tastes better than out of the can and the hole in the top of the bottle is usually too small.
I’m with weldon. Guiness has somehow managed draft beer taste right out of a can. Those Irish are true geniuses.
And yet you choose to call yourself “bud.”
What a whacky world this is.
