| Description | NEW YORK - How old is too old? And how long is too long?
In the case of 86-year-old Manhattan district attorney Robert Morgenthau — in office since 1974 — the answers come Tuesday, when his re-election campaign goes to the voters in a Democratic primary.
For the first time in 20 years, Morgenthau faced a real challenger with a real chance to win: Leslie Crocker Snyder, 63, a no-nonsense ex-judge who raised the incumbent's age and tenure as campaign issues.
"She's challenged him unlike any other challenger ever has," said Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic political consultant. "There's no question she's exceeded expectations. Could this be a close election? Yes, it could." |
