No Senators have been so ill recently that they bear taking a hard look at (as was the case with recent deaths in office -- Kennedy, Byrd, Inouye, Lautenberg). Feinstein, Grassley, Hatch, Shelby, and Levin are all over 80. The next name, at 79, is also worth mentioning: Inhofe. I don't think there's much risk for anyone (except perhaps Coburn, but he's stepping down) below that. As an aside, I realized just how old the Senate is looking at that list: 25 Senators are over 70; by an odd coincidence, exactly 60 are over 60. It's a good deal older than America at large, or even a usual American workplace, though the staffers probably tend to be younger.
