Secret ballot? Long walk. Short plank. What is truly amazing is that none of these Republicans, not one, has done the homework of getting to know what a Speaker can do. If they had the faintest clue of the power, overwhelmingly and quietly for good, that Sam Rayburn wielded as Speaker, they would be fighting tooth and nail for the job. But there's a further problem: it's not enough just to win the job. It takes skill and grace and vast breadth and hard work to be able to fill the job the way Mister Sam did. There may not be any Republicans who have that.
