What if Gingrich was denied the Speakership of the 105th House? Who would become Speaker? What would the politics of the 105th Congress be like?

Bill Paxon was the only one with a brain in the coup - hence why he was also the one we never heard of. I wouldn’t be overly surprised if they pushed Susan Molinari in as Speaker, if only to ensure that they got the (then-critical) Northeastern Republican House votes.

With Gingrich no longer Speaker, how would they react to Lewinsky?

POD would probably be Armey not flipping, and we get Speaker Armey.
