80. Love Joe, but his time has passed for a presidential run.

Sorry to say, but I believe Hillary's time has passed, too.

Nothing against either one, but as a senior I feel free to say, that younger candidates give the feel of energy, progress, etc.

As of now, I'm looking at O'Malley, though I don't know that he's the greatest campaigner.

Am open to others, as well.
