I don't think it will do Democrats any favors to nominate someone who has already failed at winning the nomination.

She LOOKS old. It doesn't matter that she's only in her sixties. Looks matter in politics.

We need to continue the trend set by Obama and nominate younger, fresh faces. Not re-nominate someone who didn't work out the last time.

It isn't fair. She should have had a shot. But I don't think she has a shot now.
