How old is he? Like a thousand?
81.
And he’ll be running for re-election in 2016. Judging from Iowa’s reaction to Braley insulting him Chuck will get about 70% of the vote. He’s only the 4th most senior geezer in the Senate, behind Leahy, Hatch and Cochran. Although I doubt Cochran has much time left in him. And Chuck’s only the 2nd eldest—Feinstein is 3 months older. Hatch will be President Pro Tempore in the new Senate. Sometimes adding that to their legacy is the only way to get the geezers to retire.
