The Democrats' Dilemma

"As a 76-year-old let me say: Joe Biden is too old to run again"
Robert Reich

Given Reich's credentials it seems that Joe's continuation into a second term is nearly unimaginable, or that anyone in the Party leadership would seriously try to refute Reich's proposition as put forth in his latest Guardian column.

I hope Reich will take the next logical step and share some ideas in subsequent columns about what characteristics a candidate for the Presidency should have beyond youth.

At this stage of the game, with the election two years down the road, specific names are probably inappropriate. It is not too early, though, for a vigorous national conversation about what kind of character is demanded by the country's highest office and what goals and policies will point us toward a desirable future for our children.
