Hillary! will be 69 years old in 2016.

Biden will be 74 years old in 2016.

John McCain turned 72 while running for President in 2008. Democrats viciously and bigotedly attacked him for being "old".

Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush were the only Presidents in the last 150 years over the age of 60 to be elected President.

The Democrat party is the party of youth and the party of brown. Neither of these two "old white people" will be the nominee.

I expect the Dims to nominate Cory Booker or Antonio Villaraigosa in 2016.

Dim Julian Castro may also run. With four years as a city council member, eight as a mayor, and no other real experience, he is another potential 0bama.

He will be crushed by stronger candidates, but is likely to be a VP contender, especially if Booker gets the nomination.

FDR was 62 when he was re-elected in 1944. Of course he was the incumbent, which makes a difference.

Mayors don’t usually do well. The prevailing logic is it has to be a governor or a senator.

I can’t see a governor I would be happy fielding right now on our side. Most have folded like cheap suits on key issues like Obamacare. Martinez, Brewer, that idiot in North Dakota, the list spirals on. Perry’s record is okay, but he had his chance. In the senate, we have some viable candidates.

The Dems have nothing beyond Hillary. The bench is empty
