On top of everything which is said already I just want to add: my personal experience with old people is that they become very stuborn. (Anyone trying to tell an older relative that it's time to move to an assisted living situation can probably confirm that.) So I guess that once those those politicians cross a certain age-treshold, you can never, ever convince them anymore that they're no longer the right person for the job, especially not if you're trying to argue that their age is the problem.
