| Pelosi: Just like in "Fatal Attraction", she isn't dead yet |
| 2010-11-05 |
| In the wake of Tuesday's shellacking, outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, has been widely expected to step down as the Democratic leader and leave Congress. Not so fast. High-level Democratic sources in the House tell ABC News Pelosi is seriously considering staying in Congress and running for the position of minority leader. Please stay, your Minority Leader Press conferences will be a great source of material for the 2012 Republican Campaign Ads. Yesssss, what would we do without San Fran Nan ... Pelosi is methodically calling every Democratic House member who won on Tuesday, as well as many who lost, sources tell ABC News. In the process, she is weighing her options and gauging her support. Some of Pelosi's closest allies are encouraging her to stay and to lead the Democratic effort to win back their majority. Those encouraging her are arguing, in part, that she can unify the progressives in the caucus, and more importantly, that nobody in the House can raise money for the next campaign better than Pelosi. |

| #1 ...Read something Thursday to the effect that Harry Reid as Majority Leader in the Senate - as opposed to the reasonably intelligent Chuck Schumer - will be a real benefit for the Pubs. With Pelosi as minority leader, things could go VERY well. Mike Mike |
