Should Pelosi be Speaker?

Based on the hypothetical scenario if Democrats won control of the House, would the party push forward and nominate California Rep. Nancy Pelosi as the next Speaker of the House?

Pelosi would then be third person in succession after Bush and Cheney for the Presidency. It's pretty much traditional for the minority leader be chosen if her party regains control of the House, but is she the right person for the Democratic Party? Could she be too liberal, and would it result in a brief tenure as Speaker if the Democrats return control back to the Republicans in 2008?

For one thing, she's from San Francisco, a city which is really up the wazoo about "tolerance" and loves to dictate what is "good" for the public. This is the same city that rejected having the retired battleship U.S.S. Iowa berthed in their harbor.

Honestly, the moment Pelosi becomes Speaker, she will act just like the Republicans did when they took control. Same person, just different party.
