What will probably happen is when the Democratic babyboomers leave office they'll just try to get their goddamn Millenial kids in their vacated seats.We’re talking about Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, born in 1971, who has been tapped to deliver the opposition party response to the President’s address to Congress on Tuesday. We’re talking about the “hyper-ambitious” Representative from Virginia, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, born in 1963 and said to revere both hyper-partisan Newt Gingrich and über-leader Winston Churchill.
And of course, there’s the 1964-born Governor Sarah Palin, whose cringe-worthy appearances we’ve been (blessedly) able to ignore since the end of the campaign.

Generation GOP
Sure, right now the Democrats are riding a high with majorities in Congress and holding the White House, but is it sustainable since not many of the ruling party are GenXsters?

Afraid you're right. I know I may be getting ahead of ourselves, but once Obama leaves office, not much remaining as far as Gen X Democrats waiting in the wings. Which means the few progressive Gen X'ers are going to get jammed (again) between the extended-work-life Baby Boomers and these oh-so-smart Millennials. Ugh.
