pelosi? is she doing a happy dance today? >> i think it's a little early for a happy dance. she still has a math problem, doesn't have the votes she needs to become speaker. that said, she's the best whip that the house has ever had, that i've ever soon on either side. you work for the whip, so no effect to kantor. she knows her caucus. she knows where people's pressure points are in order to get them to get the vote. >> your point is she's highly effective which is what jackie just said. something else you said which i thought was interesting which is, as the team is working to secure the majority and ensure there's no surprises, you said there's this discussion which we've heard about her saying, hey, i'll only be a single-term speaker, it will just be a transitional period. you say that's a terrible idea.
