In the wake of Tuesday's shellacking, outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, has been widely expected to step down as the Democratic leader and leave Congress.
Not so fast.
High-level Democratic sources in the House tell ABC News Pelosi is seriously considering staying in Congress and running for the position of minority leader.
Pelosi is methodically calling every Democratic House member who won on Tuesday, as well as many who lost, sources tell ABC News. In the process, she is weighing her options and gauging her support.
Some of Pelosi's closest allies are encouraging her to stay and to lead the Democratic effort to win back their majority. Those encouraging her are arguing, in part, that she can unify the progressives in the caucus, and more importantly, that nobody in the House can raise money for the next campaign better than Pelosi.

they want to bait and switch us..
No elected official in America has a lower approval rating than Pelosi. I’m not sure it’s a bad thing for conservatives if Democrats are stupid enough to keep her as the face of their Party.
The Dems are nuts if they allow Nancy Pelosi ANY Leadership position...HER NAME SHOULD BE MUD! But True to form I’m sure that Failure will just make her MORE popular with the Dems........Keep it up Pelosi I want the GOP to have an OVERWHELMING Majority in 2012..Enough to Pass the Constitutional Amendments that President Palin and the new GOP led Senate/House will put forth............
She has Sharp ELBOWS ands knows EVERYTHING about EVERYBODY!! They are AFRAID of her.
Man, I watched the video of her at the link, she really sounds like she’s insane, seriously, she is not connected to reality, you gotta watch that vid ...

There’s nothing for a socialist to get.
They’re socialists.
They are right and you are wrong.
They will not give in or give up.
Think of them as Muzzies without the rag heads.
But with the bombs.
The only difference is they want you to do it their way or
die, they just don’t want to go with you.
If Hoyer was re elected, he will be the next minority leader following this seating of the Congress.

Yep. Pelosi was the bugbear that got the new House Republicans elected, but she's they want her to stay on as leader.
Poison is very addictive, isn't it?
I believe the clinical term is Obamapathic Nancycissim.
Anyone have any good photos of San Fran Nan? This thread could use some....
Doesn’t it say everything when an insane women is one of the top fund raisers for the Dims?
she delivered 60 seats in 2010. make she can do even more in 2012
Nancy Pelosi will perish if the swamp is cleaned out.
If she stays, her memos and emails should be the first documents subpoenaed. Remember the “CIA lied?” I sure do. Hoyer and the Dems can’t protect her now. I want her on the stand!
