If my Democratic Party takes control of the US House of Representatives after Tuesday's election, then former State Senator John Burton will have more power than he did as President of the California State Senate.
If memory serves me correctly, Nancy Pelosi worked on John's staff when he was in Congress.
Also, it will be poetic justice for that San Francisco seat held by the late Phil Burton, who lost the same speakership by one vote.
It appears at this point, with Dianne Feinstein being the former Mayor of San Francisco, and Senator Barbara Boxer claiming "Baghdad by the Bay" as her home town, the political power compass of California will point straight North.
It is probably a good thing, then, that the Governor is from Los Angeles, in order to give the city a token of political power in California.
Maybe John Burton will have to come out of retirement to bathe in this new power play.
Of course, if the Democrats don't take Congress on Tuesday, this little blog will be erased.
