This, from Dana Milbank in yesterday's Washington Post:

Democrats in the House are set to keep the same three leaders - Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and Jim Clyburn - who led them to their historic wipeout. This is the preschool-soccer theory of accountability: Nobody keeps score and everybody gets a trophy.

The internal dynamics of the Democratic caucus - and the egos of the principals - seem to dictate this ridiculous outcome. The external politics is screaming - Young Blood!
