I am increasingly impressed with this man, who might make a very good Speaker

[Stinky The Clown]

Currently the House Whip. As safe a seat as Pelosi. Unafraid to speak clearly and unambiguously. Very smart.

Think about it. I've never heard this name floated.

1. Who is that? and why wouldn't he be 'threatened' any less than Pelosi appears to have been? n/t

3. Rep. Clyburn is the House Whip. He is from South Carolina. I met him in the elevator at the

convention in Denver. I think he had his whole family with him.

Here is my post concerning what he was discussing on Countdown:

He is a former school teacher.

6. ah, the infamous "elevator meeting"......you've got thirty seconds to

explain your "VAP" (Value Added Position).....sounds like he's "got that down (or up)" at least with you. ;-)

7. I think I said something dumb, and then we got off the elevator.

10. lol - yeah, that's probably 'most likely' than what the marketeers like to promote

with their "thirty seconds on the elevator meeting". It's more 'human' anyways...

Peace,

5. Sorry ...... James Clyburn, of South Carolina. House Whip

[MadMaddie]

2. I like him too

I have heard several of his interviews and he pulls no punches and tells it like it is.

Honestly, I think he would be better than Nancy but that's just me.

4. I like Clyburn.

But I don't see Pelosi relinquishing her position as Speaker anytime soon.

8. Agreed - just saw him on KO...very impressive n/t

9. Welcome to DU.

Representative Clyburn is impressive, and if the last 50 days are indicative, he has been a relatively effective Whip.

11. But, but, but we already have a black President!

:sarcasm: , of course, but if Clyburn's name is ever actually floated, that's what you'll hear on Faux
