Pelosi Fights Back

What's Your Reaction:

The pros say she is finished as House Speaker, but it's never been wise to bet against her. Perhaps it is gallows humor, but in the final days of an election that could be Nancy Pelosi's undoing the first female Speaker demonstrates characteristic spunk in the face of a GOP media assault on her image:

So... Nancy Pelosi says she might retire if she gets re-elected but fails to retain her Speakership. Do Californians realize how much a special election to replace her empty seat will cost? Can Californians afford this extra expense caused by someone who will only appear to be narcissistic and a sore loser? Why vote for her in the first place if this is the thanks we'll get?
