Rep. Nancy Pelosi formally announced Wednesday she is running to retain her spot as House minority leader and sent a warning shot to potential rivals by informing her colleagues that she has already locked up “the support of more than two-thirds” of the Democratic caucus.

Mrs. Pelosi has led the caucus since 2003, but the results of the election last week convinced the caucus to delay a scheduled vote this week on leadership posts until Nov. 30, with members saying they want more time to digest the shellacking the party took.

Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio, meanwhile, has emerged as a potential challenger and has warned that the party has lost touch with working-class voters in the Rust Belt and Midwest that it will need to recapture a House majority.

Mrs. Pelosi, though, made it clear in a letter to her colleagues Wednesday that she does not plan on giving up her post.

“It is with both humility and confidence that I write to request your support for House Democratic Leader,” the 76-year-old wrote to her colleagues. “As of this writing, I am pleased to report the support of more than two-thirds of the Caucus.”

This was one of the questions on On Point on NPR yesterday. Pelosi is an old guard leader backed by other old guard leaders. She needs to go.

She was elected Speaker in 2007, and the Democrats won in 2008 on the coattails of Barack Obama. Then, she threw away the House by proposing four different medical insurance bills that contradicted what President Obama had campaigned on in 2008. She did not even produce one bill that looked like what he had promised.

I wish she was smart enough to take a cue from Barbara Boxer, who is running neck and neck with her for lowest IQ in government.

Fuck Off!

So done with them.

17   RealEstateIsBetterThanStocks   2016 Dec 11, 11:41pm  

these days the only work she probably does at the office is logging in her off-shore accounts online and making sure bribe money arrived on time and not missing a cent.

18   lostand confused   2016 Dec 12, 1:35am  

She didn't fail-it was the repubs fault.

She made great money though in the stock market with insider info.

Actually, under the leadership of Pelosi, the 111th Congress was one of the most productive Congresses in history. More than Boner or Ryan can say.

Exactly. they kept the House for exactly one Congress. And they largely won because of the Financial Crisis, Bush Exhaustion, and riding the coattails of the Messiah Candidate.

I still believe the focus on Health Care Reform in 2008 was a deliberate attempt to take the focus off Financial Reform.

but yeah, making tillerson secretary of state and improving russia relations at expense of saudi arabia is much worse.

Someone was arguing that this guy got his work done with bribes and that his family has traded on insider info.

I'm sure they all do. However as a private citizen, CEO or not, you will be in BIG trouble if the SEC wakes up for once and prosecutes you. Insider trading by politicians is more insidious as they do so without any risk since making it legal just for them. The fact that politicians exempted themselves from prosecution for insider trading sounds like treason to me. Double the treason if they act and exploit it..

Well; sort of. big pieces of the STOCK act were removed prior to being signed by Obama

S. 716, which eliminates the requirement in the STOCK Act to make available on official websites the financial disclosure forms of employees of the executive and legislative branches other than the President, the Vice President, Members of and candidates for Congress, and several specified Presidentially nominated and Senate-confirmed officers; and delays until January 1, 2014, the date by which systems must be developed that enable public access to financial disclosure forms of covered individuals.

Part removed by Obama prior to signing

Without public disclosure clause; all you really got is their word, which is as good as gold.
