Journal pudge's Journal: Madame Speaker

Journal by pudge

Nancy Pelosi is not the House Speaker-Elect, as Saturday Night Live said. OK, it's only SNL, but even NewsHour's Margaret Warner the other night addressed Pelosi as "Madam speaker-to-be".

She has not been elected. When the new Congress holds an election, she will, or will not, be elected. Calling her "Madam speaker-to-be" would have been like calling Bob Corker "Senator-to-be" a few months ago, just because he was leading in the polls and was likely to be elected.

This discussion was created by pudge (3605) for no Foes, but now has been archived. No new comments can be posted.
