If Pelosi resigned/was impeached/ran away/whatever, who do you think would

be the speaker after her?

Note: I'm not asking who you WANT to be speaker, but who you think WOULD be speaker.

(Yeah, I know she can't be impeached but for the sake of argument....)

7. you might be right but what a huge mistake that would be

He's one of the most corrupt members of the House, and one of the most conservative dems. No thank you. And he voted to table today.

10. He was *'s go-to guy

When * wanted a few dem votes to give something the patina of bipartisanship, he would go to Murtha and Murtha would get the votes for *. Like Byrd, he's another of DU's "principled leaders"

And note how one poster describes him in the same terms * describes himself

Actually I think she can... I think I remember they have something

like that written in the Constitution that anyone serving public office can be impeached for just cause.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Dems chose him, judging by the decisions they've been making the past 12 months.

Whoops - got my senators and congresspeople confused. But still, it wouldn't surprise me.

5. I always thought they should have drafted Gore to do it.

It would be such a coup.

8. Yeah, either Rahm or Steny.

Not anyone I'd like, but the most likely.

9. Steny Hoyer, the current Majority Leader and bigtime skunk.

He's Pelosi's enemy and DLC to the core.
