PPP: Hillary Could Carry Texas in 2016

38. I think Hillary would be a better assest as a Veep

Don't get me wrong, I like her quite a bit, but if she does consider running, she'll be working to maintain the Obama Coalition- a good portion of which is younger voters.

At age 69 by 2016, she might be too strong a symbol of the "old guard"- but if she were a VP pick alongside someone like say, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala (not the wrestler) Harris or Julian Castro, it probably wouldn't be that big an issue.

Were she on the top of the ticket, I see that as a golden opportunity for the GOP brass to get behind someone like Jindal or Rubio (who would both be 45) and paint 2016 as a battle of "old vs new". It wouldn't guarantee a Rep win, but it'd be a strong framing device.

Of course, they could just nominate Santorum and practically hand us a third White House run.
