Why age makes Obama the 'ideal' choice

August 5, 2008
A new study by researchers at the University of Iowa suggests that the age factor might have benefited Barack Obama, and hurt Hillary Clinton while they were vying to be the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.

The study suggests that Americans expect women to reach their peak performance as leaders at age 43, four years before men's perceived peak at age 47.
