I don't buy it. The first thing Nancy Pelosi worries about — above Saving The Planet™, above helping Obama, above everything — is getting Nancy Pelosi re-relected. She hails from one of the most liberal Congressional districts in the United States. Hers are the people who honestly believe we can run the nation on Flower Power and Change™ if we just have the courage to abolish Big Oil. What Nancy Pelosi does not want to become is Tom Daschle, the "retired" Democratic leader who got too far out of touch with his constituents and so lost his seat. |
Not going to happen
Pelosi and Daschle are from two very different districts. Pelosi could be propped up as a corpse and half the people in her district would not know or not care.
Daschle on the other hand is from middle America, where liberal politicians are tolerated by not given a free pass. He screwed up and lost by having a conservative run against him.
Pelosi on the other hand would not know if a conservative lives in her district more or less have one run against her.
