Perhaps if the LSM would start discussing HRC ideas and experience, ...but that would give the anti-Hillary crowd exactly what they've wanted for so long, and people would start focusing on the unattractiveness of those ideas, the failure of her management projects, the negative outcomes of her policies, and the complete lack of morality in her thought processes.
The fact that HRC wasn't much to look at in her younger days, and that she's not aging well can draw on her biggest as...um, her biggest strength, and that is the sympathy vote.
