"Hilary Clinton has been on the national stage a long, sincere her husband once touted their two-for-one candidacy and she declared she was not a stay-home-and-bake-cookies kind of wife." In this article they are focusing specifically on age, but knowing Fox News and their current opinion of Hilary Clinton, this just may be an excuse to get at her being a woman running for president. In their minds they may be thinking, "what other excuses do we have other than the fact that she is a woman for her not be fit as a presidential candidate?"
Age could be a problem because after her first term she will be 73 and if she serves a second she will be 77. Ronald Reagan was able to do this in 1984, but again he was a man and probably not asked the same questions that Hilary is going to be asked when running for the presidency.
Health is also being considered and issue brut even a columnist, From a Harrop, took issue with this. "Both men and women face age discrimination, but it's no secret that for women, ageism mixes easily with sexism. And obsessing over a woman's year of birth is often a slightly more respectable substitute for the latter."
The article even explains how women are taught to be more focused on their looks and Hilary's looks especially when she was running. If we remember when Sarah Palin, people were trying to find drama and over analyzed her every move from outfits, the way she spoke, to her family. Maybe once people put away the age and female cards to play against Hilary, she will have a better chance at winning candidacy and even presidency.
