Tomorrow, New Yorkers will tell us which New Yorker we should accept as our president.

 

I hope that others in flyover country are as excited about this as I am.

 

On the Democratic side, they’ll choose between a female who would be 69 years old upon her inauguration and a male who would be 75.  On the Republican side, where there is no significant challenger, they will recommend a male who would be 69.5.

 

Ronald Reagan, until now our oldest president, was not quite 70 at his first inauguration.
