WASHINGTON Stuart Stevens, the top strategist for Mitt Romneys presidential campaign, declared to an audience of reporters at a breakfast last month that electing Hillary Rodham Clinton would be like going back in time. Shes been around since the 70s, he said.
At a conservative conference earlier in the year, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, ridiculed the 2016 Democratic field as a rerun of The Golden Girls, referring to Mrs. Clinton and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who is 70.
The 2016 election may be far off, but one theme is becoming clear: Republican strategists and presidential hopefuls, in ways subtle and overt, are eager to focus a spotlight on Mrs. Clintons age. The former secretary of state will be 69 by the next presidential election, a generation removed from most of the possible Republican candidates.

So, her age is all they got? Actually, that's a plus for her.
Ageism is an ugly, ugly thing. A HUGE contingency of voters in this country are the over 50s and the baby boomers. Hilary is one of them. She will bring out the liberal vote, the women's vote and the over 50s vote. Old news these days is the complete lack of awareness the Republican party has for what America wants in leadership and in governance. One thing we don't want is more prejudice and bigotry, including those who are ageist assholes.
Golly how insightful. (rolling eyes)
The over 50 folks vote, and we won't vote for Hillary because she is "over 50".
One thing we don't want is more prejudice and bigotry
Priceless.
