Jim Webb

33. That turns me off, too

Of course, I expect to hear all about how he has evolved. I think women who aren't thrilled with Hillary will flock to her if he is her opposition. I also have the same trouble with him that I have with Biden, Hillary, Sanders, and Warren. The are all going to be in their late 60s\early 70s. There is inevitable illness\disability in their very near future because it is a natural function of age. It's not like being a senator. The stress, travel, and general quality of the job has to be absolutely exhausting.
The oldest president elected was Reagan who left office with the early signs of Alzheimers.

I don't see why we would want to put ourselves, not to mention the entire nation through having a president who will most likely experience decline in their health.

Aside from that, younger candidates have usually beat the older candidates.

I know some perceive it as agist, and that's not necessarily unfair. I just have practical concerns in knowing that as we grow older, health problems and physical difficulties typically appear.

The only advantage I see other than the impressive resume and positions that he does have, we would do well to keep two of our best senators.
