Drew, 72 is not old. I'm almost 72. Could I handle the President's job? Sure, mentally.
The only thing is that I would not like to travel. I like to stay close to my own bathroom.

Which is why I added, "And an old 72 at that." I'm completely in agreement that there are 72 year-olds who could handle the job properly. My point, clumsily put, is that McCain is not one of them.

Well I really wouldn't want to be President. I'd probably have to give up my 2 p.m. nap.

Nonsense. Junior takes naps all the time.

Now if you wanted to be a good president, it might be another story.
