From Twitter:
Driven by the urgency of creating jobs & protecting #hcr, #wsr, Social Security & Medicare, I am running for Dem Leader.
The gift that keeps on giving! Thank you, Nancy – nothing could please us more than having you to kick around for a little while longer.
This is the arrogance of power, my friends – utterly crushed and rejected by the American people, Pelosi can’t think of any other response than to try and worm her way back in to power. That she’s led her party off the cliff doesn’t even register – Pelosi wants power, and so she’s going to go for it.
Worse, for the Democrats, is the fact that she likely wouldn’t have done this if she hadn’t already lined up majority support for her effort in the House Democrat caucus…which means that the survivors of the Democrats, at least a majority, cannot think of anyone better in their caucus than Pelosi! The “fresh faces” of the Democrat Party in 2011 will be….Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, with dynamic, new support from the likes of Barney Frank, Charles Rangel, Jerry Brown and Andrew Cuomo.
We couldn’t write a better script if we tried…
UPDATE by Matt Margolis: What I find interesting about this is that this move tells us, the the very least, she isn’t retiring, as previously theorized. And what I particularly like about that is that the Republican Majority can now open up an ethics investigation into her abuse of military planes for personal travel.
