no need for the goddam conspiratorial garbage-slinging festival this has become.

there are other senior members i wouldn't mind having the speakership, like Rep. Lewis or Rep. Waters, people who would be well known and probably do a quality job. go ahead and nominate them, Seth and Ed, if you think they want the job.

hell, i've heard that the speaker doesn't even need to be an elected member of the house. nominate Mrs. Clinton if you think that will work out.

but support someone.

"someone else" is NOT a real option as-is, and lingering over it is just stupid as all hell for what should, by now, be obvious reasons.
