There is no requirement that he be a house member. ANd sure as hell would be a better leader than Pelosi

1. I don't think so...didn't he allow the rise of the Rupert Murdoch empire? and Nafta without protect-

ions for transitioning American workers, and the rise of long prison sentences for minor drug offenses.

Through his political supporters, Carville and McAuliffe, he assisted in tearing down the infrastructure of the Democratic Party throughout the country. I think Clinton and McAuliffe were responsible for Democrats losing Congress. They concentrated on him and on raising corporate money instead of building through the grass roots.

I think he had foreign policies successes, and definitely was not a war-monger, and can probably continue to do many good things throughout the world as a private citizen of stature-possibly with the UN- but I do not see him as a builder of the Democratic Party.

How do you see him as a better Speaker of the House than Nancy Pelosi?

3. No he wouldn't
he's much further to the right of Pelosi. Pelosi's problem is the DLC dems like Clinton and the 'Blue Dogs' who might as well be repukes.
