If Romney wins in 2012, he will be reelected in 2016. All presidents who defeated an incumbent have gone on to serve full terms. In 2020, the youngest "50's kids" would be 61--pretty old to be president.

Carter? Benjamin Harrison?

Carter isn't a good example, he was running against Nixon's ghost, not Ford. As for Benjamin Harrison, I am referring to only post-WWII elections.

61 isn't too old, as long as they are healthy it's fine.

By old I mean older than 54.8 years, which is the average age of a US president at the time of his first inauguration.
