Though this may be a bit chickens-before-they-hatch thing:

Pelosi Backs Emanuel for Obama's Senate Seat

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "is reported to be privately talking about Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the House Democratic Caucus chairman [and GT12's representative], as the next senator from Illinois if Sen. Barack Obama wins the presidential election," according to Robert Novak.

"The same source said Pelosi indicated that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer would be her eventual successor as speaker, even though she opposed his election to the second-ranking leadership position. Emanuel has been widely mentioned as the speaker of the next decade."
