For those that think youth is a good quality, it can just as easily be turned around to say that there are many of us that are longer in the tooth that have skills and experience that are just as important or maybe even more so depending on your viewpoint. Or in the words of the sage, P.J. O'Rourke, "Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut."

To me, age is not really all that relevant. I'm more interested in the substance of the candidate and not whether they were born after 1985.

I am envious of goalie, though. Hockey is the world's greatest sport and if I had learned to skate I would certainly be refereeing it instead of basketball in the winter.
Yes, but youth is also more willing to learn, so voters can turn the youth runnie to how they think.




Also, youth like to represented (I feel), and like to know they are represented.
