Nancy Pelosi Seriously Considers Staying as Democratic Leader

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.

Do it, harridan. Stick around a while. We have a whole heap of newly-minted Congressional committees that want to ask you a whole heap of questions about your subversive activities against the American people.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

There aren’t that many Blue Dogs left after the teanami. The wacky libs that are left were hoping to replace her with Grayson... but that was not meant to be.

Sounds to me like she doesn’t want to give up that big airplane. If she stays on as house minority leader would she be able to keep it or will they downsize her?
To: Scythian
OH pleease stay! We dummies out here need you to let us know how stupid we is. If you do some more explainin’ to us bitter clingers maybe we understand how you’s lookin’ out for us......These people have learned NOTHING!

The chick wants to defend her record as Speaker and still be viable in 2013 for another run at Speaker. Good luck Nancy with your ongoing corruption...

Keep Nancy! The face of the RAT party.
To: Scythian
She will keep it all, and more.
Because she has all the goods on Obama, she knows it ALL.
How his ascension was orchestrated and how it was kept from the public.

Like Princess Mookowski, Princess Nasty P just doesn’t want to give up her little thrown. LOL!!! The Mad Princesses aren’t going away.

The BEST outcome would be for the Witch to stay, and continue to make assinine statements that can be used by Conservatives in 2012. Between her and Dingy Harry, the ammo for the battle of 2012 will have the Conservatives FULLY armed!

So Pelosi becomes Minority Leader, Hoyer becomes Minority Whip, and Clyburn becomes Errand Boy? Typical Democrats.

Obama and Nancy are both apparently vying for the “Queen of Denial”...
I hope they don’t figure it out. It will make 2012 another rout for conservatives.
