Hi David and Jeff, thanks for all you do, I do have a request.

Hi David and Jeff, thanks for all you do, I do have a request. I was wondering since you guys have covered the health issues of the now-deceased Rep Pascrell, Rep Evans and now Rep Scott, if you guys would consider making an issue or two about the age issue facing Democrats in Congress, since they are supposed to be the “party for young people and working families”. I believe both liberals and progressives are fed up with the leadership of the party and truly want change, and that requires retirements, especially with how many members have had health scares. Could you imagine if we had the 3 seat majority right now? That would mean that the majority would hinge on Cuellar’s trial, and our older members not kicking the bucket, especially since the past couple Congress’s have been some of our oldest yet, and many members towards the top of the age list are Democrats in safe blue seats. We must be proactive in case of a future majority of 10 seats or less. The longer they stay in, the higher of a chance of catastrophe of many members unfortunately dying while in office around the same time. But if you guys decide to cover other things, I totally understand.
May I suggest that coverage of The Geriatric Challenge be bipartisan – the obvious problem of old Democrats, plus the opportunities raised by old Republican legislators?

I think it's an individual district thing; all districts should not be lumped together due to the difficulty of open seat races in marginal seats
