Something struck me when someone asked about Tony's potential stand in the power struggle between Sack and Little Carmine.

Remember when Carmine (the father) gave the OK to Tony to "take care of" Johnny Sack during the Ginny-Sack's-Mole-Problem? Tony was analyzing the situation with uncle Junior and said something like: "...with Johnny gone, Carmine is gonna put his son there. Who knows, maybe there's an upside for Johnny going anyway." or something to that effect.

Do you think that Tony thinks having a stupid ally, in Little Carmine, heading that family is better than having an apt Boss, being Johnny Sack????
