WASHINGTON (CNN) -- There are few expressions that send chills through Republicans everywhere more than the words "Speaker Gephardt."

CNN's Bob Franken reports on the efforts by House Democrats to regain control of the body, which was dominated by Democrats for 40 years until the GOP's landslide takeover in the mid-1990s.
