I'd agree with age, for the most part. But most of those not over 65 don't have bad states or have states that are pretty conservative policy-wise. Bullock, Nixon, Hassan, McCauliffe, Wolf. They just don't have the kind of national recognition a Clinton, Bush or someone from a populated state like Florida or Texas has. Other side of the ticket, but if Perry was governor of Idaho or Alabama, nobody would be talking about him.
And not just current governors, but former ones as well. Warner and Kaine could both do well on a run to the WH for the left, I think. But no one wants to go up against Hillary. It just seems like there was an agreement to let her do her thing after Obama beat her.
