2. Why has no younger Democrat been groomed for this? Not even one?

For heaven's sake, we should have a pipeline of people being brought through electoral offices so that there are qualified candidates for ste-wide positions.

I love Robert Byrd, but he should be retiring, not signing up for another 6 year term. I'm sure he loves it, but it's time to let the younger generation take over. No one is irreplaceable. No one. And if we think so, then shame on us. We may get our clock cleaned by some hungry GOP candidate who has been groomed for a state-wide position, like this one.
