Freepmail or ping me on the thread to be added to the new John Armor for
Congress ping list.
She said on some news show that it was harder for a woman to get elected as Speaker of the House than President of the United States — offered no explanation other than it was a good ol’ boys’ club.
Now leaders essentially always move up to Speaker.
If there is a vacancy, whips usually move up to leader.
It appears conference/caucus chairmen usually move up to whip if there is a vacancy — I’m guessing less often than with whip to leader.
On the other hand, there are many avenues to the Presidency of the United States. I’m inclined to think the statement is false.
Bump
Thanks very, very much for the ping, MitchellC. Does life get much better than a known entity, ONE OF FREE REPUBLIC’S FINEST, running for political office.
Can America get more exceptional? Yes! Thanks for running Congressman!
