Pelosi again running for House Dem Leader

Whatcha think? From everything I've read and heard, she's been very effectively from a legislative standpoint. That said, she's extraordinarily polarizing and probably not at all helpful for those Democrats still serving in Red States. Moreover, she presided over a loss of 60 seats.

I think she should have the dignity and common sense to step down in favor of someone else (Steny Hoyer?). She's not doing the Dem's any favors.

I think the only thing she should run for is the border.

She has my 100% support. I see no reason for her to lose the position whatsoever.

Her staying on is akin to sister Sarah representing the GOP. Polarizing, abrasive and bad for us. Us is you and me.

You're really asking to be thrown in the briar patch,

Here's a deal. We let Nancy have Minority Leader, if you run Sarah for Prez and Louie Gohmert for VP.

She's become as polarizing as Gingrich. Good enough reason for me to want to keep her around until 2012.

The only reason she is polarizing is because she has been about the most effective speaker since Sam Rayburn and you know the GOP, they simply cannot stand anyone who knows how to get things done. They much prefer someone who operates at their level of incompetence.

I would have preferred Single Payer but am realistic to know that the average voter here would foam at the mouth and yell socialism. I wish they had put more control on Wall Street and the banks, but hey, it's a start. Can't wait to see what Elizabet Warren come up with.

Yeah I know all of this will have whell going ballistic, but that's part of the fun too.
