Both parties, possibly the Ds more than the Rs, face the reality that many of their leaders are geriatric and will soon need to be replaced. I think the Rs have quite a few good people in the ranks; maybe the Ds do too, but then there's Kammie, AOC, Schifftyroo, and Swillwell. I'm not impressed with Noisome as a leader, but what his image is outside of CA and conservative circles, I can't guess.
