Personally, I always wanted Tom Delay to be the speaker of the house. I think this whole thing is being done just to make sure Delay never gets the speakers job.

He knows he's a lightning rod, and chooses to play second fiddle.
But,there's no doubt he's running the show in the House.
He doesn't want, nor need, to be the face of the Republican party. DeLay saw what the media did to Newt.
