She is going to be 69 years old, out of office for 4 years, and with serious prospect of any future career. She has wanted to be President since she was 7, and this is realistically her last chance. That by itself might not be enough, but the question she will be asking herself is come 2017, how will she feel getting up in the morning and knowing that she will never be President. If she can live happily golfing, going to events, and eating fine meals thats fine, but something tells me she will never forgive herself if she passes it up. And I think she knows that which is why she has to try.
Yeah. She is not just going to be president she is going to be the first female president. Regardless of how her time in office goes she will be in every children's history book until the end of the Republic. Why wouldn't you do it?
I wouldn't want to be president but if I was 69 and in that position it's kind of a no brainer. If she was a multi billionare with a large family and a lot of kids and grandkids sure I could see bowing out and enjoying her money and family. But she has one adult daughter and that's it. What else is she going to do with her time?
