I think you're wrong on this. It will be a simple thing hang the San Francisco Liberal sign around Rep Pelosi's neck. She is first and foremost a liberal. She represents the most extreme left city in America.

Nancy and Hillary will ensure Bush opts out of taking government money. He'll be turning money away with these two leading the fund raising for the republicans.

tom Daschle is a soft and well spoken man with an approval rating right up there next to root canal. Nancy Pelosi is an even easier target.

We shall see. The GOP's problem has never been a lack of money, and that will not be a problem in the future. I don't think Daschle or Gephardt were/are effective spokesmen. I don't think they animnated one swing voter to move to the Dems. In any event, I like mixing it up a bit. The old model was beginning to bore me. The Dems need to take more risks, and they are doing it. If Pelosi comes across as an extreme left winger, who frightens folks, I will be amazed. She has never stuck me as being that way before, and I know a strident left winger in atmospherics when I see one.
