A Washington Times article today explains how Rep. Nancy Pelosi
is not a shoo-in to become Speaker should Democrats take over the
House, despite a Republican campaign to scare voters into thinking
it’s inevitable with a Democrat victory. But in an apparent effort
to fortify her leadership candidacy should that happen, her staff
is playing up qualifications other than the fact that she’s a San
Francisco liberal:
Pelosi spokeswoman Jennifer Crider said,…”Republicans are without a single winning issue, so it’s no wonder they are desperately trying to falsely smear a churchgoing grandmother who has made fiscal responsibility, bipartisanship and middle-class tax cuts a priority.”
A Newsweek
profile of Pelosi drifts into this territory also:
A recent addition to her arsenal of barbs scolds Republican leaders for failing to stop former congressman Mark Foley’s lurid messages to teenage pages. “As a mother and grandmother, I think ‘lioness’,” she says. “You come near the cubs, you’re dead.”
