Keep in mind to become a candidate is NOT a unitary decision.
We here at DU should start thinking more about the people around our potential candidates and the time factor. Believe me age and the future are on different paths.
Not only does our candidates health influence their decisions but the health of their families and even their most trusted political advisers.
Now if we only had a single 6yr term, we could be in full campaign mode but that's not the way it is.
