Gov't. - U.S. Rep. Mike Pence (R) for Speaker of the U.S. House?

U.S. Rep. Mike Pence (R) for Speaker of the U.S. House? That was one of NY Times columnist (and former Nixon speechwriter) William Safire's predictions for 2006 in his end-of-2005 column. He writes:

HERE is your 32nd annual chance to Beat the Pundit. In each multiple choice, pick one, none or all. In a good year, a master prognosticator gets four right. * * *

2. Speaker of the House succeeding Dennis Hastert will be: (a) Mike Pence; (b) Rahm Emanuel; (c) Steny Hoyer; (d) Roy Blunt; (e) Nancy Pelosi; (f) Tom DeLay.

Safire's choice, revealed at the end of the column, is "2 (a)."

(I also recall reading this column in the Indianapolis Star this weekend, but can't locate it now.)
