Pelosi may make life more easy for Hillary

[Jersey Devil]

Not for nothing, but it's my personal observation that since Tuesday the wingnuts seem to have transferred the vitriol they usually reserve for Hillary to Nancy Pelosi.

Maybe it can be useful to prove to people that it is not Hillary they hate but the thought of a woman, any woman, with a great deal of power.

Just a Friday afternoon mindfart, but I think worth considering.

1. There's something to that

2. Ehhh... only for a little while. If and when Hillary announces, they'll

be back to pounce on her.

Not that she's beloved by a majority of Democratic primary voters, anyway.

3. yeah.

used to work with some real rednecks . . . college-educated ones. mind-blowing misogyny.

i think you hit it on the head.

[OKNancy]

4. Oh, that's alright

The left has plenty of vitriol for her to make up the difference.

[BootinUp]

5. Good observation

I still worry about Hillarys chances in a GE though. Call me spineless.

6. They started that at least a month ago, when it looked like the House would go Dem.

They were using Pelosi to prod their bigoted base to get out and vote against having a woman Speaker of the House.

At least they're consistent. Pigs.

7. I am really not sure that Hillary will run in the end.

If she ran and was elected and reelected, then in 10 years her career as an active politician will be over. However, she could remain a senator and become a powerful one and serve for another 18 years. Does she really want to prove that she can be a better president than her husband because if she loses in 08, then that plan goes down the tubes? Plus, there are so many other things that could go wrong.

8. If Pelosi becomes the liberal face

Then lots of America will be stunned to find out they're liberal too. I think it's going to be a hysterical two years watching Repugs wipe egg off their face, over and over and over..
