From my vantage point (one far from DC), it look liks we now know what the Democratic leadership is going to look like in the House next year. Yes, sure, there will be a challenge to Steny Hoyer from John Murtha (PA), and there could be other challenges too, but it looks like the current team will stay in office - albeit in some new (majority!) chairs. With Rahmn's decision to run for Caucus Chair it appears that the pecking order will be: Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA), Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (MD), Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (SC), Caucus Chair Rahm Emanuel (IL) and Caucus Vice Chair John Larson (CT).
