Nicely done TC, thanks. Your eloquent summation sets up the next two months very nicely even without sure knowledge of the Senate outcome. Also on the less public agenda has to be a strategic plan for the next two years to ensure insofar as possible that we don't face this situation again in '24.

Do you think that Mrs. Pelosi will stand as Speaker again if the Democrats win the House or will she yield to the next generation and become the eminence gris that her record says she deserves to be?

I think if the Democrats retain the House, they're going to need the best bee-swarm-herder they've got - and they only have one.

Once more into the breech, whether she wants to or not.

Dave, I think of her husband, Paul, and what he will be thinking about her returning as Madame Speaker if that is an option. She will read him better than anything else she's ever read. Their co-feelings on that choice means a great deal.

I agree Fern and that's as it should be. The decision may not be based as much on what the Party needs as what her family needs.
