Pelosi aides dispute daughter's claim that her mother wants to leave politics.

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 Pelosi’s 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 Breitbart’s Big Government, that her mother is staying in Washington only for her donors.

“She would retire right now, if the donors she has didn’t want her to stay so badly,” Alexandra Pelosi told Big Government. “They know she wants to leave, though. They think she’s destined for the wilderness. She has very few days left. She’s 71, she wants to have a life, she’s done. It’s obligation, that’s all I’m saying.”

Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for the House minority leader, said it’s simply not true.

1. Why retire when she's going to be Speaker again in 13 months? nt

2. Nancy owns land in Napa Valley

I could understand her wanting to retire to Eden.

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

3. Alexandra should STFU... She should know better than to speak to Breitbart...

about anything. Is she really this stupid? Geebus.

4. Everyone should know better than to speak to that vicious moron.

I wonder what's going on with this. It seems uncharacteristic for the daughter of a major politician.

5. She's talks to people we don't

She made documentaries about the 2000 George W Bush campaign and evangelicals. But talking to Breibart is beyond me.

7. Shes a documentarian so I suppose she thinks she needs to speak to those we would not...

I hope there is more behind the story... I really hate to think Pelosi's daughter could be such a fool.

6. I don't go to Breitbart or Politico for facts.

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.
