Sorry to be a male chauvanist pig, but Hillary is going to just be ghastly by the time 2016 rolls around. Reagan was a movie star and always looked it right to the very end. And I don't consider Newt a very attractive candidate in 2012 regardless of his fitness and appearance. McCain and Dole got their shots due longevity and the GOP’s stupid allegiance to “the next in line” (although McCain benefited from having the most important upfront primaries being in states that are more purple than red).

I agree with the lack of obvious candidates among the Dems — a very weak bench. So maybe Hillary will win by default. It's difficult to imagine the American people being willing to give another Clinton a try at the Presidency after a 16 year hiatus.

makeup these days can do wonders. not to mention various surgical and other cosmetic options. she’ll look fine. no worse than she does now.

also, who knows what happens by 2016? Maybe something happens to Bill(70 in 2016) and she’s propelled by the sympathy vote.

I was just saying that at 69 Hillary won’t be too old to run.

She was really very unfortunate in 2008. Obama was the only dem candidate in the past 50 yrs who could have gotten that nomination ahead of her. Everything was perfect for him, the moment was his. There aren’t any more Obamas on the dem stage. No one will be able to come close to him.

She’ll do just as well among her female base as she did in 2008 if not better(if anything they’ll be more determined to make sure she wins)and there’s no one else who will get the 90% of the black vote that Obama got that enabled him to win.

Although, who knows? 2016 is 6 yrs away. In 2002 you could have offered me $100000000 to tell you who Barack Obama was and I’d have had no clue. And I like to think I know what’s going on.
