Walter Mondale, former vice president and later presidential candidate. He was 93.
Hard not to talk about politics when talking about 1980 and 1984. 

Mondale used to say he realized he wasn't going to pull off an upset in 1984 when at the 2d debate Reagan came out with that line about not using his opponent's youth and inexperience against him.  You see Mondale laughing at the line in the debate clips because he knew that was such a perfect comeback to the question about age and fitness.
