#1 Let the leaking begin. Begin to become a torrent, I mean.

#2 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Speaker of the House is usually a straight party vote, but both side vote in an open election. I recall in New Mexico a few years back the Trunks actually voted for an alternative Democrat who was running against the usual machine hack and the few Donks who joined in succeeded in putting in a new Speaker. Since the vote for Speaker doesn't happen till the next Congress convenes and its the Speaker who appoints committee heads and assigns offices, it might be time for the Trunks to align themselves with something nearer to a rational Donks for some interesting times in January.
