Pelosi, Among Others, Could Exit if Dems Lose House
Time ^ | 10.29.10 | Jay Newton-Small

If Democrats lose control of the House of Representatives next week, as most political observers expect, there is a good chance that the House Speaker will opt to spend time with her eight grandchildren rather than toil in the relative obscurity of the minority. Even if she wanted to stay on, it's not at all clear that she would win the position of minority leader: seven Democratic incumbents and several candidates oppose her leadership...

I can’t see why they would leave unless they figure that they’ll be forgotten by us angry folks who want investigations and prosecutions.

The spin is in. LOL! She wants to "spend more time with the family". The same old, lame excuse used by all washed up politicians.

It will be great NOT TO SEE THAT FACE anymore; but the damage that they've done over the past few years will never be totally un-done.

It's like the cat picture someone posts with a caption "What has been seen, can't be un-seen", or something to that effect.

To watch her hand over the gavel and keys to the jet will be sweet but to watch her empty out her desk would be even sweeter.

“the House Speaker will opt to spend time with her eight grandchildren”

How sad she didn’t put her grandchildren ahead of her political ambitions 2 years ago... I’m sure she’s a swell grandma, so we and her grandchildren all have been the losers in this short-sighted decision. Think about it: but for Pelosi, Obama might actually have heeded Rahm’s advice to abandon radical health reform in favor of compromising with Republicans on this issue.

Pelosi knows that it would be easier and more deflective to defend herself against the congressional hearings as a ‘private’ citizen over the usurpation of these United States by proclaiming the Kenyan a Natural Born citizen.

And spending more time with her granddaughters...lol

I actually expect A LOT of democrats to retire after they lose power, most people can’t stand losing power.
