Joe Biden would be the oldest significant Presidential candidate ever if he ran – older even than Reagan was when he ran for his second term. Perhaps I’m projecting from my own aging aches and acuity loss, but I think Hillary is also old enough to prefer retirement, but will run out of a sense of duty – the Demos may have no other viable candidate.
The lack of promising candidates seems striking to me; is it unusual? One might hope for a dark horse (like Obama in 2008) to appear out of nowhere, but Obama was already being touted for President by 2004. (I realize Elizabeth Warren is being touted but, however good a President she might make, pushing for her seems like desperation.)
The Republican contenders also have drawbacks. I’m afraid that Huckabee, who disbelieves in evolution, might be the most stomachable of the lot. :smack:
