I think age is a state of mind, obviously a state of health. I am in the early 60s. I feel as vigorous mentally and physically as I ever have at any time in my life. I don't think you should rule a person out just because they're – my particular age. On the other hand, I don't think you should rule out a younger person who by experience or intelligence or overall capability is a potential candidate.
Gerald Ford discusses the role of age in presidential elections and emphasizes that age should not disqualify a candidate.
