How will Ms. Pelosi do it? Her more moderate supporters in the House say she represent both the left and the right of the Democratic Party.
Excuse me, but didn't the Green Party win second place in her district? If she moves toward the center at all, won't her own constituency be angry? Won't she then be confronted with a primary challenge the next election?
Dick Gephardt had a secure seat, so he could go toward the center as far as he wanted. Nancy Pelosi has no such leverage in her San Fransisco district.
Very interesting...

"How will Ms. Pelosi do it?"
You asked, "Any thoughts?"
She can't. Isn't this funny as hell?

Her angle on all this is to suggest that all her role involves is "managing process" and she will not unduly influence her colleagues by her own persuasions. I'm hoping the D's will buy that argument and that they hold her to being a simple facilitator. The latter is not leadership, it's technical operations work.

She doesn't strike me as the kind who will move right. She got the job by being who she is, and I doubt she will change. Just looking at her face, I doubt if she CAN change.

From her new position of power, she can acquire funding for a new generation of Opium Dens in Queers Vil.

It depends upon if she is the spitting cobra or the plane old "sink in the fangs and slobber the venem in". She has a mouth much like the spitting type, the tongue is forked and she drools venem when she speaks. Sorta reminds me of The Hildabeast huh?

Imagine living in a district where the Green Party comes in second to Nancy Pelosi. That has got to be hell on earth.

The RAT's were stupid enough to lose this election, with Pelosi, they are stupid enough to reduce their vote count to that of the Greens.

Nancy Pelosi is a child of the sixties. She is a radical flower-child with nothing but disdain for the country.
I believe that the Dems are more concerned right now about losing their base to the Green Party then beating Republicans. They are really going to have to go to their base with reasons for them to remain loyal.
The problem for the Dems, is that everyone knows that Moderates dont stand for anything. So, if they are going to have any credibility at all, they have to go left, and pray that there are enough idiot liberals left for a majority.
Bottom line; the Dems are really screwed.

This is just getting better and better!
I can't believe our good fortune these last few days.

Nancy Pelosi might be a good move for the DIMs, in their own little, insular, media-minded world.
After all, Nancy is a Womyn. The DIMs can now try n' be the Wimmynz Party. Nancy can say and do whatever she pleases, - 'cause no one will DARE come down hard on a Womyn. Even though we're all now enlightened and non-sexist, it will still be "unseemly" to question a womyn (or "violate her space" or point a finger, or...or...or).
After 100 kazillion years of Male Oppression, it's time for All Womyn to have it Both Ways. And the lamestream media will do all the advance work and block n'tackle for her.
It will work beautifully...right up until the '04 elections. Then, the DIMs will have to go into high spin once more. Perhaps replace her with a more fitting representative.
Like a brain-dead quadraplegic.

Is she cut in the mold of former mayor Alioto? That's the question.
