Caught up with Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del), who like Pelosi says he might have retired had Hillary won. Now inclined to seek 4th term.

I get the logic of wanting to hold the fort, but its funny to me that people would rather stay when they're the minority than when they can actually accomplish things that help people.

Accomplish things that help people? You must be one of those naive Bernie types who need to learn how the party works. You don't need to be in the majority to vote to give more power to the CIA, which is Tom Carper's only reason for existing.

Uh, lol?  The post included Pelosi and others like them who choose not to retire to stay in the minority.  Not just Carper.  Thanks for your input on my personal character though.  I'll be sure to take your advice to heart.

The articles I just read about Lisa Blunt Rochester make me think she would be pretty good.  I doubt she would primary Carper though since she interned for him years ago.  I wouldn't be surprised to see her run for the seat in 2024.
