So far, some may be calling for Nancy Pelosi to step down as Speaker but no one has stepped forward to challenge her. No problem with Pelosi here as her real sin seems to be that she was effective. Reps. Jim Clyburn and Steny Hoyer will face off for the post of Minority Whip, though I can't find coverage of this contest in the Post.
Meanwhile, the war of all against all commences in the Republican Party. Rep. Michelle Bachman's bid for serious power in the Republican Party is starting to grate on the party establishment. Instead, they plan to go for tokenism by appointing the Palin-junior who defeated Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin in South Dakota. Meanwhile, Palin is getting blame for the Republican failure to win the Senate. And they haven't even taken power yet.

Pelosi does not have to step down as Speaker of the House- she will lose that position in a couple of months.
She should not run as minority leader.
Steny Hoyer should "man up" and keep his current position.
Pelosi should accept the fact that she has failed as a leader and resign from office.
Iwould rather have Hoyer as the minority leader than that self-serving elitist Pelosi.

The election was a week ago already. Why haven't the Republicans elminated all unemployment, solved our health insurance problems, shored up Social Security, balanced the budget, and prevented the Government from messing with my future Medicare!
Isn't it time for another reset?

I should've said Democratic leader.
Mr. Banov-
Be fair- at least give the GOP 100 days.
