I doubt Ron Paul has surged since being a youngster, maybe at 65 yrs old or so ...

Ron Paul Bests Obama*in Latest Poll - Yahoo! Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Ron-Paul-Bests-Obamain-Latest-bw-3821734650.html?x=0&.v=1 - broken link)


In a new Harris Poll, 2012 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul beats President Obama 51 percent to 49 percent in a general election race. “This is yet another poll that clearly proves how competitive Ron Paul is against the sitting President,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton. “Dr. Paul is making strides, affirming that the American people are looking for conviction instead of the typical status quo rhetoric being offered by establishment candidates.”

Ron Paul is in 2nd place as far as the end of the quarter fundraising goes with $5 Million. Romney is at $11 million and he'll need every penny to try to explain away his flip-flopping and lying.

Also to add to this, it's actually disease processes that people die of, they do not die of old age ever, there is the chronological age and there is the biological age, two very different things. So look at biological age of candidates.

Actually, someone 60 who is taking very good care of themselves (if they know how) will have three to even four decades of life left. Actually, it's among the older people who do possess wisdom........where the most wisdom can be found, they have used their good minds for a lifetime of learning and experience to guide them in discernment to make good decisions.

Typo, I meant to look at the chronological age of candidates, not biological, if anyone actually read my post that is.

Some 60 could have another 60 years left if they lived like the Hunzas do.

Age shouldn't be such a big deal. After all, how old is the Pope? Isn't he 81 now?

So does Bernie Sanders, who is a self-proclaimed Socialist. Yet Bernie is not likely to be president either.
