Of 13 current members on anti-Pelosi list, 10 are to the right of the Democratic caucus median & 11 are to the right of Pelosi. Copying Freedom Caucus tactics, but not a revolt from the left. Capitulating to a centrist minority of caucus would have implications for the session.

And 14 of 17 are men.

1. Conservative men trying to unseat a highly experienced effective woman.

That's every day in America.

4. Exactly... and rather than see through it, many of our own are turning this into a Ageist argument

They don't see themselves being manipulated by the RW, but they ARE.

14. Of course.

2. Seems to me the anti Pelosi crowd here

think she is not progressive enough.

If they get their way they may be stuck with a centrist Speaker.

Also I don’t think anyone here has come up with a name (who wants the job) to replace her or a valid reason to.

3. Yes and the rules changes that are being proposed

by these same members are being sponsored by Joe Lieberman’s pro-business, conservative No Labels group. Any progressive who’s on board needs to read through them carefully. I don’t trust Lieberman as far as I can throw him. My worry is that they’re trying to take advantage of new members who may not be familiar with all the rules ,with things that sound good but really aren’t . I know this because a No Labels member was on Hardball last night.

15. We need to become more progressive. No

labels means compromise for compromise’s sake.


I think we found out that we din’t need to compromise to win elections.

5. Pelosi should stay, she's politically astute.

Nancy is our response to Mitch McConnell. The Repubs want her gone because she’s so effective.
Don’t replace a proven winner.

6. A whole lot of Whoburger there....

[octoberlib]

7. Yes, there is.

8. Why am I not surprised Linda Sanchez is on there?

[Cha]

10. Could they even do what Nancy

does? Sanchez or Fudge?

[LuvLoogie]

12. They wouldn't have the votes for either of them.

I have never heard of either of them doing anything ambitious other tan talk about it.

9. Paul Begala on Nancy..
