I can’t believe Pelosi came so close. Although I would have loved West, we would have lost. We need to pick our battles here, folks. Big picture.

And she came in ahead of Cantor..What does that tell you?

FIGHT LIKE HELL but pick the battles, we need to have at least ONE branch in our court while we work on the other two..

Boehner should have resigned. Boehner picked his battle when he fired all the Tea Party conservatives from committee positions.

What’s the advantage? The Republicans will take the blame for the same policies Pelosi will enact. At least if Pelosi was the speaker, the Republicans would have a chance in 2014. Now the Dems will win in 2014.

And which branch is in "our" court? The Boehner-Obama-Reid fiscal cliff deal passed WITHOUT a majority of Boehner's own Party, 151-85.

The point is you don't rally have one branch of the government, if the GOPe call the tune. Wise up.

Peelousi came in 2nd cause there are still quite a few dems in the House.

Speakers have always been one of the more political positions. Its amazing the Boenher can be a ruthless toughy within the House and a crybaby to nobama.

The dems in the House voted for Pelosi. If she hadn’t come in second, I would have been surprised.

Absolutely nothing!

Obviously the dems stuck with her.
