Nancy Pelosi confident she'll be Democratic leader

In a letter sent to fellow Democratic lawmakers Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California expresses confidence that she will be elected minority leader and calls for the party to further modernize and communicate the message that helped them win the House in 2006.
"In the 24 hours since I wrote seeking your views and your vote for Democratic Leader, I have been very gratified by the extensive and enthusiastic support I have received. Many of our colleagues, from all areas of our diverse Caucus, have been generous with their ideas and their support, Pelosi wrote, according to a copy obtained by POLITICO. I am grateful for the confidence that has been placed in me to be House Democratic Leader."
Pelosi says in the letter that her conversations have been focused on the policies that will assist American families. Her focus on message implies that Democrats lost at least 60 seats and the House because of a failure to communicate effectively about the agenda the party delivered rather than public disapproval of the policies. Its an argument that may resonate well with House Democrats who blame the White House for not putting enough energy into honing and promoting public relations campaigns in support of major legislative items.
"In addition, we must build the capacity for effectively communicating our message of job creation and opportunity for all, while supporting our signature achievements of health care, Wall Street reform, and Social Security and Medicare," she wrote. "In the 2006 election with our New Direction and 6 for 06 message, we spoke with great clarity and unity and we won.

She was also confident that she’d continue to be the Speaker.
The gift that keeps on giving.
She was also very confident that the democrats were coming out to vote on Tuesday and they would retain their majority in the house.
What the heck is she smoking.
A good example of what bad acid can do to the mind.
I live in San Francisco, and this woman is such a pompous ass. She really has never done anything in her life but be a politician. Our Founding Fathers never anticipated that some people would stay in office till the got old and died.
She bas been if office for almost 25 years, which is before the Internet, cell phones, AIDS, and most of the people who live in SF.
She represents no one but herself, and a bunch of rich perverts.
After Pelosi’s success on Tuesday, I can’t imagine a better choice to continue leading the Dem party to its destiny.
Gotta be the dumbest twat on the planet.
Lead ear.
BOTOX infiltrated her little brain.
Orange Sunshine. She got in to a bad batch a long time ago.
I’m sure she will be as all that are left with few exceptions are Leftist. Welcome to the Rebublican Party Shuler.
Remember this. She knows where all the bodies are buried.
She was raised a couple of blocks from Baltimore’s Block, where Hustlers and Perverts reign supreme , Of course she fits right in.
She’s got my vote!
She knows where all the bodies are buried.
Hey Nancy, why don’t you go home and practice your meatballs?
Hope these DumboCrats remain ‘stuck on stupid’ till at least 2013!
