Pelosi is going to be a very effective spokemen for her party. She is very composed, not stident, and very smart, and not stuck in the New Deal rut. The CW on this is very wrong. They are just deflected by the more entertaining aspects of the folks she represents. Of course, a leader of the House has never won anything, except for Newt, who won stuff, and then lost stuff. But Newt was a long pass kind of guy. That is a rarity, and Pelosi will be much more cautious.

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.
