No, she will be 69 by the time Obama's term is over. broiles Nov 2012 #9
69 is not old. INdemo Nov 2012 #10

But outside of someone like Elizabeth Warren I cant think of a better candidate right now.

Still, he will only be slightly older than Reagan when he was elected, and upper-class people have longer lifespans and better medical care now. I don't see why it's impossible.

Hillary would also be acceptable.

She would have the backing of Obama, if Biden chooses not to run...as well as Biden then, as well as the Dem party machine.

Warren would be better. . . also Sanders & Franken . . . all independent thinkers and desperately for the people.

I didn't support her during Primary. (preferred Kucinich then Obama over her)

but who knows what things will look like like a couple years from now.

A bit conservative on some issues, but she would make a very good president.

If she runs she's got my vote. She did a great job as SofS and she has senatorial experience as well. The repugs have no one that can match that. And I'm sure she had something to do with how "the Big Dawg" worked tirelessly for the President. Dues have been paid. I repeat, Run, Hil, run!
