That would be cool...the 1st-ever BLACK Speaker of the House being a REPUBLICAN? I know that’s not gonna happen this early (Jan. 2011), but I wonder what the Congressional Black & Progressive Caucuses & the MSM would say about that? Would Mr. West even be allowed to even join the CBC if he so desired???
In order to prevent that from happening, I am beginning to wonder about Pelosi being able to keep her job as Minority Leader should the GOP win in November. Would she be replaced by Rep. Clyburn or a younger black Pregressive Member just in case they ever win the House back?
Isnt this the attitude that got us Steele?
Lets support people on their ideals, not their color.
As much as I would love to see him as Speaker, I don’t think as a freshman he would be voted that honor. There are those old timers there....
If the GOP took the house, wouldn’t Pelousey be out? Would not the Speaker then become a GOPer?
