WASHINGTON Stuart Stevens, the top strategist for Mitt Romneys presidential campaign, declared to an audience of reporters at a breakfast last month that electing Hillary Rodham Clinton would be like going back in time. Shes been around since the 70s, he said.
At a conservative conference earlier in the year, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, ridiculed the 2016 Democratic field as a rerun of The Golden Girls, referring to Mrs. Clinton and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who is 70.
The 2016 election may be far off, but one theme is becoming clear: Republican strategists and presidential hopefuls, in ways subtle and overt, are eager to focus a spotlight on Mrs. Clintons age. The former secretary of state will be 69 by the next presidential election, a generation removed from most of the possible Republican candidates.
