I'm not a Pelosi fan.  She owns a veal restaurant.  And someone with such high power shouldn't be a profiteer of animal cruelty.  She's also an Israeli stooge (just look at her statements).  So John Lewis.  The man has more integrity than almost any other politician alive.

Hmm...if I were actually in the House, I'd probably be from a right-of-center district, so I couldn't vote for Pelosi. Ergo, Cooper.

I remember someone wrote an excellent timeline in which Minority Leader Pelosi allied House Democrats with Peter King and moderate Republicans to elect Colin Powell Speaker of the House to prevent Eric Cantor from reaching the presidency.

This was actually a time where something very similar could have happened, although it would still be a big stretch.

Tough choice between Pelosi and Lewis. Since this was a symbolic vote I'd go with Lewis but Pelosi if she actually might win.

Ideally, Dingell.  In practice, Pelosi.
