Their best days have long passed, IMO.
The Democratic Party needs new leadership, both in the Senate and the House.
Reid and Pelosi are only dragging the party down. It's time for some fresh faces.
I don't know about Reid but I'm pretty sure that the only reason Pelosi still hasn't retired is to prevent Steny Hoyer from ever becoming the Democratic leader in the House. The only way he will ever become Speaker or Minority Leader is literally over her dead body.
Preventing Hoyer from becoming leader is a good reason to stay leader.
Why is this fine Danish-American gentleman so unpopular?
Too vocal about supporting the Iraq War? The immunity to telecom companies thing? Or just too pro-business for the leftists in general?
