Is Hillary Clinton Too Old to Run?
National Journal ^ | 2/14/14 | Charlie Cook

Posted on 02/14/2014 9:48:24 AM PST by illiac

At least every week now, there is a new story supporting the narrative of an inevitable 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential bid. Indeed, the conventional wisdom is that it is an absolute certainty that she will run. If anyone is currently saying, flat out, that Hillary isn't running, I haven't come across them. Is the inevitability of her run really as certain as the conventional wisdom suggests, and further, is it unfolding in an optimal manner for the potential candidate?

In all likelihood, Clinton will not make a final, "go-or-no-go" decision until early next year, after the dust has settled from the midterm election. Generally speaking, few presidential contenders make their final decisions before the preceding midterm, and, with the notable exception of Texas Gov. Rick Perry in 2011, most have been laying the groundwork for a long time for a potential run. Most have already been attending countless state and county Jefferson-Jackson (for Democrats) or Lincoln (for Republicans) dinners, meet and greets, and other events to prepare for the potential campaign and the ensuring shakedown (if they do, in fact, decide to run).

If she keeps denying that she's running it means that she's in.

Not too old. Too marxist.

What she is is too communist, too dishonest, too stupid, and too without talent to run.

I suspect this is a stalking goat article. Used to flesh out the landscape for Hillary’s campaign.

I confess that I would LOVE to see a Clinton vs Palin race.

Maybe too sick? Besides, from what I read in the grocery store checkout the other day, Bill will be dead in < 6 months anyway.

No she is too unhealthy of mind and body has little to do with age

Not too old, but her political facetime clock has run out. 2008 was her last hope.

What difference does it make at this point, anyway?

Is she too old to run?

That's a silly question. People age differently. The question should be "has hillary aged too much to run?". To that the answer is yes, although it would be fun to see Ted Cruz shred her in debates.

Well, certainly. If she wasn’t too old, we’d see another fake picture or two of her and faithful hubby on fake dancing some beach in Jamaica or such, cellulite thighs and all.

She’s a vile, duplicitous, lying pretender-to-a-throne-of-the-diseased-mind that can’t even work up the courage to divorce the lying bastard and stand on her own. Her ascendency is all about made-up impression rather than provable substance.

She’ll be the same age as Ronald Reagan or Golda Meir. But there’s no comparison to either.

Looks pretty runny to me, like an overripe Limburger.

No, she’s not too old.

She is too drunk and unhealthy, though.
