McCain last hope of a generation?
John McCain, born 1936, would be the only President born in the 1930s to be elected. The list of prior presidents:
George W. Bush, born 1946
Bill Clinton, born 1946
George H.W. Bush, born 1924
Ronald Reagan, born 1911
Jimmy Carter, born 1924
Gerald Ford, born 1913
Richard Nixon, born 1913
Lyndon Johnson, born 1908
John F. Kennedy, born 1917
If Barack Obama, born 1961, is elected he will be the first president born in the 1960s. Which means that the 1950s and the 1930s would have never birthed a president of the United States. (Mike Huckabee was born in 1955).
