6. I don't have a problem with her age.

I even didn't have a problem with Regan's age and I was a teenager at the time. What I didn't like about Reagan were his policies.

Besides, anyone who knows Hillary can tell you that she outlasts staff who are half her age. The woman is a dynamo, she has tremendous quantities of stamina. Also, if we go by her family history, her mom died in her 90s and was still as sharp and funny as ever.

Did anyone watch the PBS documentary last night on the women's movement? Age was commonly used in the past to keep women down. Well, if she does choose to run, it won't keep down this woman.
