Is Hillary Clinton Too Old to Run?

Charlie Cook: “Clinton turns 67 this October. At that age, she will likely be
making her candidacy decision, and if nominated Clinton would turn 69
two weeks before the 2016 general election, notably the same age Ronald
Reagan was when he was first elected in 1980. The choice to run for
president is effectively a nine-year commitment: one year to run,
another four years if she wins a first term–finishing up that term at
age 73–and then, assuming she runs for reelection and wins, serving four
more years to end a second term at 77 years of age. None of this is to
say that the age issue could successfully be used against her. After
all, Reagan won the presidency at the same age. But how many
67-year-olds make nine-year commitments, and what concerns have to be
addressed if they do?”
