I don't believe Nancy Pelosi will be the Speaker, after the elections of 2010, because she's intellectually lazy & politically insane. The American people don't want higher taxes or the health care reform bill at all. The Democrats need more policing than so called big oil or big medicine or big banks any day of the week. Pelosi is more of a symbolic symbol, than a leader, in the first place, since she's the first female House speaker. You have to be crazy to take her seriously, from her Democratic Party colleagues, to Chris Matthews & Keith Olbermann. She's an idiot, she doesn't have a clue & the Democrats will take more hits in the 2010 & 2012 elections with her in charge. President Obama shouldn't listen to her either or he might not be president after 2012.
