But I really appreciate your oped from a personal viewpoint. After all the age bashing on Biden, and by default I can't help but feel the rest of us elders included, it's good we're coming out with our own stories and fights. I think some us took it to heart to our detriment. For others it made us draw the line in the sand. Our experience and knowledge counts for more than glasses, a lost or wrong word here and there, or a stumble or two.

I'd much rather have an experienced, even handed, knowledgeable statesman to drive this ship of state than a young one just testing his chops.. especially given the problems we have to face.

Young is good... experience is better.
