Note: Why would she say if it is not true? What is she doing on Breibart's show? Nancy IS 71 and the odds of taking the house in 2012 are slim. No one here in San Francisco would blame her if she did decide to retire.
Nancy Pelosis office says her daughter is wrong when she says the California Democrat wants to leave politics.
Alexandra Pelosi, a filmmaker, said in an interview with Andrew Breitbarts Big Government, that her mother is staying in Washington only for her donors.
She would retire right now, if the donors she has didnt want her to stay so badly, Alexandra Pelosi told Big Government. They know she wants to leave, though. They think shes destined for the wilderness. She has very few days left. Shes 71, she wants to have a life, shes done. Its obligation, thats all Im saying.
Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for the House minority leader, said its simply not true.

Of course the donors want her to stay -- she owes them. So of course the aides are disputing the claim.

(21,642 posts)Nancy Pelosi is capable of letting us know whether or not she wants to leave political life. I would think she'd have announced that by now if she were seriously thinking of not running again next year.
