While this might appear to be a non-event to many, I suspect her political opponents will make a lot of it. Especially when she starts her run for president in 2016. I can hear it now, “She’s too old and frail.” “Can we afford a president we know may become incapacitated in office?” Basically the same thing the Democrats were saying about McCain.
