Nancy Pelosi might actually be in trouble.

In a survey of 20 Democratic House candidates, only one – a former Senate staffer from Orange County, California – would state support for the congresswoman staying on as leader of the House Democratic Caucus. Of the rest, 18 declined to say if Pelosi should keep her job, while one, a political newcomer from a culturally conservative Ohio district, said he would vote for someone other than Pelosi.

Their refusal is a remarkable development for an already embattled minority leader. But even more significant are the implications that their refusal carries for next year’s midterm elections.

There has always been this level of non-support for Pelosi.  She'll have whatever support she needs, when she needs it to continue to cling to power.  It's likely to matter, too, because the Pubbies are blowing their hold on the House.

If you look at her she really is a John McCain  without the terminal cancer that is.

Without the sunshiny disposition, either.

Oh yeah.  She is a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

Between Ryan and Pelosi, is there really any difference?

Between Ryan and Pelosi, is there really any difference?

Yes.  Pelosi is dangerous, because it seem obvious from her recent public appearances, she is losing her mind.  Ryan, on the other hand, knows exactly what he's doing.

Soooo, Pelosi is dangerous because she is unstable and mentally incompetent, and Ryan isn't because his screwing over Americans comes from a place of mental health?

No, he is because his actions are deliberate.

Pelosi's time has come and gone.  She holds a position with a 'D' next to her name.  The real worry to me are the more radical DEMS like Castro and Auntie Maxine.
