From The Phoenix:

Aside from the Speaker, leadership questions abound in both caucuses. Bill DeWeese won a tough re-election battle on November 4th and has made it known he would like to return as Majority Leader. But, he operates under the shadow of the Bonusgate scandal. Although no charges have been brought against him, the question for Democrats is can they take a chance on re-electing DeWeese and then possibly being embarrassed if he is indicted?

DeWeese already faces strong opposition for Majority Leader. Representative Kathy Manderino of Philadelphia has thrown her hat into the race. Her late father, James Manderino, served as a powerful Majority Leader and Speaker several decades ago. Also running for Majority Leader is Representative David Levdansky of Allegheny County. And Todd Eachus, who steered the House Democratic Campaign Committee during the past election cycle also appears interested in a top leadership post.
