Can young Democrats really threaten Pelosi's old guard?

[Sympthsical]

29. It will be whenever Christine Pelosi feels like it

And there is a lot of chatter and backbiting surrounding that one. There's some patience with senior Pelosi, waiting for her to bow out gracefully and enjoy retirement all things considered (people really thought she'd have gone when she retired from Speaker and are a little shocked/resentful that she's still there). Part of the theory includes the game plan of nepo-babying Christine in, and it's already creating some hostility in local politics.

Word around is Scott Weiner, a gay state senator who is well-liked and served on the SF Board of Supervisors representing an area that includes the Castro, has his eye on Pelosi's seat but won't pursue it until she retires. However, Pelosi's associates are already going after him. It's gotta be Christine or no one. So the whispers are that Pelosi is remaining while Christine gets all the ducks in order. Weiner would be a legitimate contender.

Well, one can imagine how the LGBT community in San Francisco feels about all this.

If Democrats want to shake off the sense of seniority, entitlement, and people feeling it's their turn, how they're managing the seat in question is not the way I'd go about it.
