When looking at Hillary Clinton's chances of winning the presidency in 2016, don't forget the magic number - 69.
That's how old she'll be on Election Day.
Before leaving as Secretary of State in 2013, she was in the hospital having a blood clot checked. (Just in time to delay talking about Benghazi).
It's only natural to wonder about her health as the campaign draws near.
And her real health problem - how does she show she's healthy enough for the run.
When was the last time you saw a picture of Hillary doing something athletic?
Reagan rode horses.
Obama golfs. And golfs.
What does Hillary do besides talk?
She wants to be the historic first female president. The Democratic establishment seems on board with the thought, lending the air of inevitability.
What can trip her up?
If her health is not tip-top, another rival can use that to bust the inevitability bubble. If Joe Biden wants to run, will he show he's more fit and healthy?
Hillary can't just say she's healthy. She'll need to show it, on a daily basis for months on end, to keep her dream alive.
