... Republicans have worked to define her as what’s wrong with Democrats ...

Some of the Democratic Party’s most endangered lawmakers are taking steps to distance themselves from Speaker Nancy Pelosi in an attempt to inoculate themselves from charges that they are beholden to the unpopular House leader and supportive of the ambitious national Democratic agenda.
Three vulnerable Democrats from conservative-oriented districts are already running TV ads spotlighting their defiance of Pelosi. One freshman incumbent recently joked about the possibility of Pelosi not being able to take up the gavel next year because she might pass away. Another member from a tough district suggested he might run for speaker himself.
The roster of Democrats currently playing six degrees of separation from Pelosi spans the map, from the Northeast to the South and across the Midwest to South Dakota.
The GOP has used Pelosi, who represents a liberal San Francisco congressional district, as a wedge against vulnerable Democrats for almost as long as she has been in Democratic leadership. But with Election Day just nine weeks away, the sprint away from the House speaker highlights the increasing urgency with which the party’s most vulnerable legislators are trying to prove their independence from Democratic leaders and the Capitol Hill agenda that has defined President Barack Obama’s first term in office.

... Republicans have worked to define her as what’s wrong with Democrats ...
That's like separating the brown from a turd.
Every Republican candidate needs to put this albatross around the neck of every democrat running for office, no matter what- “You really want a Pelosi supporter as YOUR county dogcatcher?”
all those demonstrator's are just “astro turf”
I’m pretty sure every single incumbent Democrat congresscritter voted for Queen Nancy for Speaker - and it shouldn’t hurt to remind them of that no matter how hard they try to run from her.
Can’t have it both ways, Dems. You hitched yourselves to her wagon, now RIDE IT OFF THE DAMNED CLIFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They seek separation for only another 10 short weeks. Then its back to bed and under the sheets with this crow. [that is, for whatever cabal is left remaining on Nov 3]
I can’t wait to see her hand over the gavel.
The Marxists worked with determination to undermine this country with ObamaCare. The November elections will demonstrate that Pelosi and the Democrats marched right into fixed bayonets.
Hey Travis, we are coming after you here in District 1!
LOL!

Glad to see this come back to haunt them.
I absolutely agree with this. If any Republican campaign staffers are reading this, Pelosi is your target, not Obama.
If your opponent voted for Pelosi, remind the voters. Add in a few choice quotes like:
"You have to pass the bill to see what's in it."
"The people opposing this mosque should be investigated!"
"Are you serious?" (when asked about the Constitutionality of Obamacare)
The Speaker of the House is 3rd in the line of succession for the Presidency. Do you really want Pelosi 2 heartbeats away from the Oval Office?
Stephanie Moore of Kansas seeks to embrace here as Stephanie’s husband Dennis walked lockstep with Nancy.
NO MORE MOORE IN KANSAS!
He looks like Rupert Pupkin.
If they take the House, Who will be the head of House Ethics and Judiciary, and what will they look into over the 2 years that will have them in the hot seat, especially queen Nancy....
The general response needs to be about how his or her vote is the one who put Pelosi in charge.
