11. New Blood Eliot Rosewater!! New Blood!!

That is what we need. That will do EVERYTHING!!!

I agree. There is something to be said for having new representatives and new, young fresh enthusiasm in government. We need people who are fired up and ready to charge in and do the hard work. But in a position as powerful as Speaker of the House, we needed Pelosi, who can get fired up, but also has the skill and savvy to focus her fire and who knows the rules backwards and forwards, and who knows how to play the game of politics.

There were things with which I disagreed with Pelosi on in her last tenure as Speaker, but she is certainly playing this situation almost perfectly.
