Perhaps. But maybe not.

I have a simple theory about what it takes to become Speaker of the House (with advanced apologies to Newt Gingrich).

It takes MEDIOCRITY. Too conservative and you have no chance - too many votes to your Left. Too liberal and you also have no chance - too many votes too your right.

But if the porridge is not too hot or too cold and your political philosophy lacks substance, being neither too far right or left, you are a viable candidate for Speaker of the House.
