Picks up gun, aims at foot, pulls trigger, and Pelosi is back as Speaker and Agent Orage gets early retirement. ROTFLMAO.

Fearless prediction here. If the Dems are able to retake the house (and I can see a few of the TP freshmen being sent home), Nancy Pelosi will not be the Speaker. I'm assuming that a win of the house would also mean an Obama win. I think that with a second term, Obama would try very hard to get Congress to make some bi-partisan progress, and he might convince the party (and Pelosi) to go with someone who is less of a target for divisiveness.

Regards,

D-Ray

Pelosi wasn't a target until she became speaker. It was all a contrivance of the GOP to demonize the Democrats and their agenda. They'll do it again, regardless of who the speaker turns out to be.
