May 2015

my favorite candidate is Julian Castro, but I'm told he's too young! So, it goes both way. Hard to get that optimal age. But I do see that although he was a very successful mayor of San Antonio (#7 in population in the nation), and is now Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, he hasn't been in Washington very long. At least with Bernie and Hillary they are seasoned inside the beltway.

Interesting tidbits: Martin O'Malley 52, Rand Paul age 52, Scott Walker 47, Marco Rubio 43, Julian Castro 40.

Looking at that list I'm kind of surprised we're not seeing O'Malley running? Maybe he'll step in at some point?

Anyway, interesting to mull over.

Disclosure doesn't do the job. To an extent, you have to play the odds and age affects the odds. merrily May 2015 #16
