Sorry for my late response. I was away from my computer.

I am glad to find another Nancy Pelosi fan!

People forget that the President, his staff and Harry Reid etc. etc. were ready to abandon health care. Pelosi was the one who held it together and got it through the house. (This was far more difficult than getting it through the Senate.) She paid a heavy cost politically. And history will not remember her. But without her, this day does not occur.
