A pure hypothetical: You are 70-years old and entering your second term as vice president of the United States. You are pondering running for president, but your party already has a ruthless front-runner expected to be the nominee and succeed your party’s incumbent. Besides, your past campaigns for the top spot have yielded less than optimal or encouraging results.

In the meantime, you want to identify other opportunities.
