Congress is out of session. Right now Obama is the leader of the party and taking advantage of it. Who will be Speaker come January? Got me. But if the D's pull out several unlikely races (especially in the Senate) because of large turnout amongst minority and youth voters, I think you'll see Obama putting his imprint on the House/Senate leadership because of a perceived mandate.
I'm not a big fan of Rahm Emmanuel either, but I'd look for him to challenge in January being a home-state buddy of Obama's and already in the leadership. Maybe Jesse Jackson Jr. ends up somewhere of note because of him stepping out to criticize his father. Clinton refocusing on a leadership role to wait out the following 8 years? Who knows? There stands to be some infighting though, no doubt. Judah On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 10:06 PM, Robert Munn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > LOL, you wish! Pelosi has the gavel in the House.
