GENERATION GAP?
GENERATION GAP? Democratic insiders worry about age of those slated for important chairmanships if House changes hands. Dingell of Energy and Commerce is 80 years old, Conyers of Judiciary is 77, and Rangel of Ways and Means is 76 -- each more than a decade older than Republican chairman. But attempts to leapfrog veterans would trigger infighting and look unlikely.

2. Still having some new blood wouldn't hurt
We're going to need some younger reps to take their slots sooner or later anyway, it's not like they'll live forever.
