Skip this if you haven't been watching the Sopranos

If you haven't been watching these last few episodes, and you don't want spoilers, skip to the next post... the one with the gigantic dog.

Ok, so, after Tony had that lunch conversation with Little Carmine about the leadership vacuum in the Lupertazzi family, didn't anyone else get the impression that Tony was thinking about taking over? I mean, it's more than likely he won't, but I just got the idea that he was so dismayed at the anarchy in that family, and that nobody even wants to step up into a leadership role, that he could take over with really very little effort, and make a cubic assload of money. Of course, now it looks like Phil Leotardo may step up, which would make such a power play very bloody, but still. Thoughts?
