At least every week now, there is a new story supporting the narrative of an inevitable 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential bid. Indeed, the conventional wisdom is that it is an absolute certainty that she will run. If anyone is currently saying, flat out, that Hillary isn't running, I haven't come across them. Is the inevitability of her run really as certain as the conventional wisdom suggests, and further, is it unfolding in an optimal manner for the potential candidate?
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
Hillary would be no older than Ronald Reagan when he ran for his first term. What is more troubling than an "older" President is somebody like Obama, only three years out of his 30's, getting into the Oval Office with very little life experience. Young people who think they know it all are far more dangerous than older people who have learned a thing or two along the way.
Only Hillary Clinton will know if she is too old to run. If she runs and wins, she's not.
If she loses I'm sure she'll have research from within her campaign that would show if her age was a factor or not.
I'm thinking it wouldn't matter to those who would vote for her.
Who would challenge her, anyway? Isn't it "her turn"?

I don't know,but I'm willing to give a dollar of my own money to anybody willing to tell her she is too old to her face.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
