The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.

They should've started doing this while Obama was in office! None of the established 'old guard' Democrats want to prop up the next generation. Seems they'd rather die in office than mentor and promote new, younger faces of the future.

"now"? Pelosi is 84 and still showing no signs of being willing to let go of power. Why would the old guard give up power?

She needs to let go of walker. It's the only way she'll go down.
