This one. Earth. She's not loud enough. And when she is, it comes off as strained and out of her realm to do so. She often strikes me as being someone with a personality to sell Tupperware than leading a group of politicians.

I can't really stand Nancy Pelosi so I don't look forward to her being in a position that will get her in the news even than she does now. But I'm sure she'd be fine at leading the House of Representatives from an administrative point of view.

I have a lot of political respect for Hilary Clinton though I don't agree with her on policy decisions so I don't have a problem with her as Senate majority leader, though I don't really see that happening. There'll be about 30 Democrat senators ahead of her in seniority, the body is very traditional in certain respects, and there's going to be too much concern that she won't be running the Senate but running for president and that isn't necessarily a good thing for the Senate's ability to function. But weirder things have happened.
