If they vote for Reid or Pelosi as leaders, then they have to go. Votes are fungible. So long as the leadership has its majority, it matters not how particular members vote on an issue in order to placate the local constituency. Pelosi is Speaker, because Raum Emmanuel recruited "centrists" to run in enough conservative leaning districts to switch control to the DemocRATS. The result is not to have a centrist House reflecting the wishes of swing voters but an extreme left wing House reflecting the wishes of the core 10% of the DemocRATS.
