It was OK for Bill Clinton to be President at 46 with little national or international experience, because the Boomers felt he was "one of us."
Now the boomers are older, and Obama is also a boomer, but he is a "baby baby boomer", and most boomers are older than him.
Voting for someone younger than you to be president just feels weird. Plus, it is yet another sign of aging.
It's a simple psychological issue.
I wonder if anyone in the media has picked up on this.
