Ron Paul is looking like a spring chicken these days!

No. Because age is relative to the person. Any sports fan would know that.

Tim Duncan is 38. Is he too old to carry a franchise in the NBA. Hell no. He is great just the way he is.

Kevin Garnett is 38. Is he too old to carry a franchise? YES!! Even he would tell you that.

Steve Nash was beginning the best period of his best seasons at roughly the same age that Mike Bibby was washed up and soon out of the league.

Age is relative. Until Hillary has senior moments like McCain, probably won't be an issue.

None of this for a couple of reasons. Her 'campaigning' will be limited in venues - sold as being more personal, but designed to limit her exposure to the awkwardness of age. The more intimate campaign will also provide more shallow imagery opportunities, to show her empathy for the little people - but more importantly to limit her exposure to any prying press.

We will she a lot of 'ol Hil, but we will not see much of her.
I agree; I expect that this will be the most staged, most choreographed, and most walled off campaign we've ever seen. First there is Hillary's 'relatability' problem, not according to me, but according to numerous liberal sources. Then there is the need to protect her from questions about baggage from the past. Everything from whitewater, to travelgate, to Benghazi and email-gate and stories about her potty-mouth will need to be held at bay.

The campaign is going to have a real conundrum with this given the need to make an emotional appeal for 'first woman president.'

I just hope her campaign doesn't have her do a shot at some townie tavern in the middle of Main Street USA like in 2008.

I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of Chelsea and the grandbaby in the months to come.

The Democrats lost the best woman candidate they would have had who already had a record of working well with Republicans when that tragedy happened in Tuscon in 2011. Astronaut husband, very relatable, what a waste.

I was 1 of those people who was worried about McCain being too old in 2008 AND him picking Palin as his VP. I voted for Obama for those reasons and I'm a Repub.

As long as she doesn't pick a crazy person for VP like McCain did... I've got no problem with her age.

Proof please. Too; who even cares about the KKK in 2015? They ain't out there killing off young Black dudes by the 1,000's each year, it's mostly other young Black dudes doing just that now.
