Run out of reasons to support Lisa? Try Age Discrimination!!

This op-ed in the News-Gopher sez you should vote for Lisa cuz Tony's too old.

No, seriously, that's what it says - there's "no difference" between the two, and starting Lisa young will, 25 years down the road, yield untold benefits under the Senate seniority system that has allowed Ted to fatten us up with untold barrels of pork over the years. Plus, if those mean ol' Dems get control of the Senate, Ted won't be appropriations chair anymore.

Part of the "Team Alaska" argument, I guess. Two thoughts: (1) it seems odd for the Don and Ted squad to be trumpeting youth and vigor, and (2) this kind of sophistry is a bottom of the barrell argument. In other words, Sign 536 that Lisa is Getting Desperate.
