Most have been in politics for a long time, and a lot of them have the gray hair to prove it.One thing that is remarkable about the field, though, is the number of women identified as plausible candidates. It s not just Hillary Clinton, who obviously looms over the race in a way no other candidate, woman or man, does. Between Clinton, Sens.
