tend to underestimate how much running for office really is a personal and a family decision. we tend to think that it is all about the polls and can she win and does she have the infrastructure and the donors behind her, and we go through all of the iterations with candidates, but the bottom line for most candidates whether it is hillary clinton the or jeb bush, it does come down to the personal factors. one thing that i will throw in here is that i don t hear much discussion over whether joe biden s grandkids would keep him out of the race. so there is a little bit of a different view of this depending upon your gender as well. women tend to get more focused around their family and what that means for the politics, and will it detract from it, and will it change their personality where men it is just assumed that will doer what they do, kids, grand kids and whatever is going on for them. and i will talk to a lot of people who recruit women candidates and women unlike men,
