I love Uncle Joe, but a stong case can be made that the Dem Party has been most successful after nominating YOUNG, vibrant presidential candidates like Obama, B Clinton, JFK... hell, even Mr. Jimmy and LBJ were in their early 50s when elected.

As much as I like Joe and Eliz. Warren, etc., Perhaps we should look to our party's young stars, like C Booker, M O'Malley, K Harris, and C Murphy.
