go with the best one weve had in a generation? Yes, we need to think of the future, but what better way to do that than to give a good example of leadership to the upcoming Congress people? The Dems have not been in control of Congress for 8 years, so all the young members have no firsthand knowledge of what it takes to be a successful Speaker of the House.
It should be obvious by now that the positive accomplishments of any Democratic law maker are directly correlated to the amount of vitriol from the right. The GOP hatred of Pelosi is a sure way to know that she is effective.

If anyone should be replaced, how about a vote on Chuck Schumer?

(18,624 posts)Republicans are poised to demonize any democratic speaker with the same brush they use on Pelosi. No matter the name, they'll say it with an expression used when someone accidentally eats dog shit.
