I can't think of too many speakers that can move me to tears like her. I love Barack and all, but....he can't hold a candle to her speaking.

Whose ready for 24 minimum? That's my political projection given the current state of politics. Kaine #46 until 2032 if Hillary wants to do 8 years.

She already has an incredible legacy as first lady.

I think that the Democratic nominee in 2024 will be either Tim Kaine or Elizabeth Warren.

and running for reelection is easier. That said, no number should by itself be considered too old.

Yeah, it's a Sherman quote, but I'll bet dollars to donuts that Michelle Obama has a similar mindset. She didn't even want her husband to run, initially. She's been an outstanding FLOTUS, and she embodies everything that's great about this country.
