she will have all the money, all the support, and the opportunity to be the first woman president in U.S. history. with a 200 electoral vote head start, it's a no-brainer

Fair enough. But my gut and head tell me people don't like juggernauts in politics. The ones who have delivered big rarely looked big at the start. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:33 11
- Your logic is exactly why I liked Obama in 2012 but I have made my peace with the fact that the nom is Clinton's if she wants it in 2016. -- nm - David Jul 2, 10:45 2
  - Obama's biggest issue in 2007/08 wasn't that he wasn't a rock star in his own right; it was that he jumped the line - Will Hunting Jul 2, 11:06 1
    - Still, that's the hindsight perspective. This places leans hard left yet we still didn't have many people who agreed that Obama was even a threat... - David Jul 2, 11:16
- She will be 69 thats probably the biggest factor -- nm - eag Jul 2, 10:35 7
  - that doesn't even sound old any more. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 10:38
  - a year younger than Reagan when he took office -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 10:37 5
    - But well over the oldest Democrat to get the nomination in the last sixty years (which from memory I believe was Kerry at 59). - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:49 2
      - i think the history of electing the first woman president trumps any of that - charlie Jul 2, 10:53 1
        
        If the GOP continues their anti-woman crusade, she's going to get a LOT of the female vote - TWuG Jul 2, 11:19
    - was he oldest? -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 10:39 1
      - wiki sez yes -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 10:43
