Heh... When Edwards ran for senate in '98, there was an initial flurry of disbelief that he was 44/45 at the time. There were jokes, rumors, front pages in the alt-weeklies bearing headlines like "Johnny Boy: the grown-uppest 12-year-old trial lawyer ever (and his wife ain't bad, either)," and his opponent Lauch Faircloth making a huge deal out of JE's youth and inexperience (Faircloth was near 70 at the time).
