Default Re: Pelosi: Why She Wants To Stay

1. The name "Pelosi" didn't appear on my Congressional ballot. And her parliamentary skill, or lack thereof, didn't influence who I voted for.
2. Whenever there is a change in House majority, I have never placed the blame in the lap of the outgoing SotH. That's pretty simplistic and smacks of jingoism. It's almost like saying a PotUS has any real control over an economy.
3. Pelosi has to stand for election as Minority leader, so the Damnocrats will pick who leads them in the wilderness. Since Pelosi draws the ire of the Repugnantcans so much, that is a good reason to NOT elect her as ML. That's also a good reason TO elect her as ML.
4. It's also remotely possible that she LIKES power... and the attention she will get as ML. It is a concept we should consider you know,,, that a politician likes power.
