They've got two octogenarian Senators who are going to have to go eventually.
When they go, what happens?
Who do the Democrats have lined up to replace them? Ed Case is the obvious name that springs to mind (and I personally would love to see him in the Senate), but I can't say I can think of any others at the moment.
And what about the Republicans? Do they have any prominent bright stars in the future (other than Linda Lingle, who's busy at the moment)?
I would think Neil Abercrombie Ed Case would just move up from Rep to Sen when Akaka and Inouye retire. Lingle and her Lt. Gov., Duke Aiona, would be the GOP's prominent candidates.
