<strong>Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, and Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland</strong> -- Players on deck. The top two House Democrats are mostly watching and waiting.  But they will play a critical role once Boehner decides his next move.  They could either bring Democratic votes on board a deal or be the loudest voices against a new Republican alternative. Hoyer will be interesting to watch; he has strongly opposed both the House and Senate plans as cutting too much in spending.
