I'm sure you've all seen the political whirlwind she's trapped in.  It's a credibility issue and she'll become a liability to her caucus.  Speaker Hoyer by 2010?

Tempest in a teapot. It's only important insofar as it helps Republican stall on investigation of torture and confuse journalists.

Oh, it would be hilarious to see her go down because of this torture stuff. I bet she stays on but I hope I'm wrong.

Yesterday's press conference was a nightmare, though I had to laugh at most of it.  Intrade has opened up a market for this btw.

She will be, but that doesn't make it right. She needs to go as soon as possible though.

I think she's quite unpopular amongst... everyone... she's giving quite a bad face to what could be a very powerful Congress,  I for one predict she will go.

You need to replace the one with someone. Therein lies a problem.  The devil you know, is better than the devil you don't, particularly if it puts at risk your own ambitions if matters move too precipitously.

"It's very hard for me to talk calmly about where we are. I think this is the most despicable, dishonest, and vicious political effort I've seen in my lifetime.... she [Pelosi] has now viciously and dishonestly turned on them [the military]. It is despicable and as an Army brat i find it unbelievably offensive that Left wing Democrats don't care about defending America.... this is really, really dangerous and it is gonna get a lot of people killed if we don't call a halt to it... She is a trivial politician, viciously using partisanship for the narrowest of purposes, and she dishonors the Congress by her behavior."

I think this description fits himself to a t.

Compared to John Bhoener, she is a veritable rock star.

She's pretty consistently the most popular leader of either party in either chamber.

By the way, can anyone inform me since when the CIA is considered part of the military?

I don't see any reason to believe she won't be.  It's very rare that a Speaker of the House is actually voted out, and I think enough Democrats like Pelosi for her to keep her seat.
