35. As it stands now, heck yes.

Feb 2013

OTOH if she decides to be a damned fine Senator for life, I'd be so proud of her. She has it in her to be great for a lifetime. And I fully recognize the limitations of the presidency. Those limitations added to a 4-year or 8-year term if lucky, can take so much of the potential away. How many times do we have to see it before we accept it?

But, as it stands now, if she decided to run I'd be happy about it.
