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.

Let's all welcome back the Reagan Democrats!

You are so right. That's why I predict a future for the Dems where their vote count does not exceed what the Greens are getting now.

And even America's First Black President and recent ARK Black Hall of Fame Inductee couldn't get their main base, black voters , to turn out

After watching a speech from Rep Ford...and thinking he could really rally a lot of Democrats and independents....and be a common leader of the house....I was relieved when Nancy's name came up. Now, I am totally relieved. Nancy Pelosi has likely sewn up this enitre thing, and she is probably one of the 5 Democrats in the house, that they should not have chosen. Most southerners are not going to see eye-to-eye with her. Her speeches are attack-attack-attack. I can her with Sam Donaldson, having to explain in-depth why she is anti-this or anti-that.

They could pick someone like Ford who would likely boost the Democrat chances in 2004...but they won't. They are getting Nancy...for probably the next four years as a minimum. Does anyone see Bill Clinton's hands over this entire episode?
