Where to the Congressional democrats go from here
Edited on Wed Nov-03-10 07:10 PM by sabbat hunter
in terms of leadership. Do they keep Pelosi as the minority leader, or to they turn elsewhere for a new leader? What about in the Senate? Keep Reid over a much diminished majority or turn elsewhere?

1. Keep and keep. That's what I expect.
And want.

2. Pelosi can't be a good opposition leader. She won't fight the right in a minority
A nice person can't be a good Minority Leader.

3. Pelosi paid the price of Reid's ineptitude.
I say replace them both. And Tim Kaine needs to be fired.

4. Maybe the blue dog democrats will finally
realize they should have voted with the democrats. If they had they just might have kept their seats.

5. maybe now they will go to message framing school and learn to use language better?
"republicans will take away your social security" - "republicans want to deport you" - "republicans have a health plan, it's called get sick and die" etc

6. I agree, this has been my number one complaint about every Dem. They ......................
allow the gop to frame the debate and we automatically take a defensive position. I'm tired of licking my wounds after every fight.

7. I think Reid will remain Majority Leader, but I'm pretty sure Pelosi won't

be House minority leader and she will probably retire from congress shortly after the new session begins. I would guess Stenny Hoyer will be the House Minority Leader.

9. Reid might find himself
with some challenges. I would not be shocked if Chuck Schumer makes a play to become majority leader.

Pelosi probably will step down and someone else will be Minority Leader.
