Being a grandparent has never stopped a guy from running for office. Why should it stop Hillary?

Congrats to the Clinton family.

It would be a lot more interesting if Hilary made a run for the WH.

Um... If her daughter were pregnant right now...and the usual pregnancy last nine months...how could it possibly affect Clinton 1-2 years from now?

Sorry, but I've known ambitious grandmothers before, many times. I don't see any significance, any more than being a grandfather...

Right. The baby is due in October. This October. S/he will be two years old at the time of the election of 2016.

"What difference does it make"?

Couldn't resist

People were killed in Benghazi on her watch, if that doesn't matter, what could the fact that she is a grandparent have. Seriously.......

I'm genuinely happy for her and all the Clintons. One would think Hillary would want to take life easy and enjoy retirement and grandmother stuff.
Do you think male candidates should just take life easy and do grandfather stuff?

I believe what the poster was saying was that it will only serve to further alienate women IF they use any 'grandmother' status against Hilary.

And that's your war on women?

Oh, my! You're more desperate than I thought.
No, that's YOUR war on women, remember?

Good point, and one I didn't think of.

Oddly, as much as I don't like Hillary, I see a grandmotherly instinct in her and think she would make a wonderful grandma. Much better than any other jobs she's tried her hand at.

I hope she decides to do the grandma thing and leave the rest of us alone.

You do realize, do you not, that being a grandma doesn't stop the minute the kid is born. In fact, let me be the first to tell you: that's when it starts.

Now you know.
