| Rank-and-file Democrats, smarting from electoral drubbing, threaten public rebuke of Pelosi |
| 2010-11-13 |
[Washington Examiner] In a fresh sign of turmoil among defeated Democrats, a growing number of the rank and file say they won't support House Speaker Nancy San Fran NanPelosi in a politically symbolic roll call when the new Congress meets in January. "The reality is that she is politically toxic," said Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley, one of several Democrats who are trying to pressure Pelosi to step aside as her party's leader in the wake of historic election losses to Republicans last week. Pelosi startled many Democrats with a quick postelection announcement that she would run for minority leader. She has yet to draw an opponent for the post. Party elections are scheduled for next week, although a postponement is possible. |

| #2 Party elections are scheduled for next week, although a postponement is possible. It helps if the cannon fodder isn't around to voice their opinion. Don't put off today what you can put off till the next Congress meets. |
