For 2016? Grayson, Al Franken, Sherrod Brown as you note. Not a terribly diverse gang, but in the end, only need 1 decent candidate.

We'll see what Hillary's updated health prospectus looks by early 2015 when the real decision point happens.

Hillary was in and out of the hospital; FDR had serious chronic health problems.

But again, name somebody young who fits the bill for you. Who should it be?

In reply to Name somebody young who looks

If he/she starts to look frazzled and makes trips to the hospital, I tend to be concerned. Typically afflictions in one's 60's are much more serious than in one's 40's or 50's. Back in WWII it was considered okay to cover up serious presidential illness. So FDR made it 2 1/2 months into his 4th term, even though he was only 63. Guess it's ageist of me to point that out.

Name somebody young who looks good.

I'd go for Sherrod Brown, but he's 60 and a grandpa. Terribly unqualified.

He'll be a bit gray as well - 67 a month after inauguration. You guys seem to like old leaders. Thought this was the domain of the Supreme Court & a few Senators-for-life.

Alan Grayson looks good to me

Subtle difference between who can run and who can hide. Maybe we can have a Democratic model backbone by 2024...

I know some people will say its too soon to discuss this when we've just had an election and Obama hasn't even been sworn in. But assuming Hillary runs, wins and is re-elected, isn't this the time for us to begin considering who will run in 2024?

Frank would be 76 at the start of his presidency. In his case, age would be a valid issue. (Yeah, I know you were joking.)

Only thing is, just in case Hillary doesn't run, do we have any idea of another Democrat worth electing?

Maybe Barney Frank wants the interim Senate seat to jumpstart a run for the presidency.
