I don't look for any wholesale changes in Congressional leadership either. In light of a hostile administration and an even more hostile minority, I do think Reid and Pelosi have gotten some good stuff done, but have intentionally kept a lid on things with the '08 elections in mind. I think we'll see the current leadership a little more aggressive in the new Congress but not overly so, as everyone looks to 2010. What I look for in 2010, the Obama administration will have its feet firmly planted and Dems, if they handle themselves well, will increase their numbers in the House and hopefully surpass the 60 seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Then I think we'll see some wholesale changes in Congressional leadership, including many key committee chair and memberships. If that happens change just won't be coming, it'll be happening.
