While this was a fine list of living leaders, recent death rates of leaders over 70 might be also quite interesting.

Which leaders have died of disease (or old age) while in office in the last two or three decades?

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were very few democratically elected leaders over 65 who died in office within 10 years.

Vice President will be a lot more important in McCain’s case due to age. (I’d like Huck, but I don’t think it’s in the cards.)

Your forgot Shimon Peres, elected by the Knesseth as president in 2007 at the age of 84!

If McCain is older than dirt, then I guess I’m older than…….hmm, better not say.

I’m amazed by McCain’s energy at his age. Think how vigorous he’d be if he hadn’t been repeatedly tortured in the Hanoi Hilton.

He’s not my first choice, but I’m supporting him and will vote for him.

I agree with Gringo. He can improve his appeal with a great VP selection.

He had better make a good choice for Vice-President.
