I nominate Barney Frank to be the Speaker of The House for the 11th Congress, and Russ Feingold as Senate Majority Leaders,.
I think the Democratic leadership needs to change because the dynamics of governing have changed so much. And certainly they will change much more so once Obama takes office. Nancy and Harry landed in their spots looking like a 16 year old who just got the green light to "go all the way". Great enthusiasm but not much of an appreciation of the task hand, ummm, at hand. They didn't have much of a plan or agenda beyond gainsay and potshots (IMHO).
We need a congressional leadership that can forge a rapid, progressive-acting partnership to amplify the uplift that Obama will bring. An adult in the White House again will be unleash great energy -- on both sides -- and there must be a corresponding adult legislative infrastructure in place to cause some uplift.
