Novak speculating,
The highly regarded Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, second-ranking in the House hierarchy as Democratic whip, ordinarily would be in line to succeed Pelosi. However, tension between Pelosi and Hoyer has been so great that many Democrats would prefer somebody not identified as her antagonist. Consequently, there is speculation about Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, a second-termer who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, as Pelosi's logical replacement.
Back to back Illinoisans...

Emanuel reminds me of Gollum
The House would become even more sleazy and corrupt under Rahm. He has no morals. He is a pathological liar.
Hate to be a wet-blanket, but the Novak article doesn't suggest Emanuel could be in-line for Speaker.
Instead, it says that if they don't win the House majority in November, House Dems may blame Nancy Pelosi and dump her as Minority Leader. Novak then suggests Rahm as a possible replacement as Minority Leader.
Still, quite a move for a 2nd term Congressman, but not Speaker of the House.
Will the Hired Truck guys serve as enforcers?
True Blue,
you're right
maybe it was me speculating...
I was reading fast yesterday because it was too nice of a day to be in front of a PC.
Might want to get your facts right before posting, huh Bill? Geez.
