No way he'd be able to serve two terms. Hillary isn't exactly young either. She'll be 69 in 2016.

We need to be ready with some alternative candidates just in case Hillary falls thru. Back in '88 we all presumed that Gary Hart was a cinch for the nomination (which he was), but when his candidacy fell thru, there were no strong candidates in the remaining pool.
