I don't particularly have an opinion on whether Nancy Pelosi should be the new Speaker of the House…and I don't need one since it's highly unlikely I'll get to vote on this.
But I do agree with Matt Yglesias that the Democrats need a public face…a person who can go on talk shows and Face the Nation and other places and argue their policies. And I further agree that Ms. Pelosi would not be the best person for that job. It's too bad Matt Yglesias is not a Democratic Congressman.
