House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called them her “majority makers” – the moderate to conservative Democrats in right-leaning districts whose election in 2006 made her Speaker.
And now many of them – and other Democrats in competitive districts -- are fighting for their political lives in a harsh environment and have found it necessary to distance themselves from their leaders and Democratic policies.
After Democrats won a special election in Pennsylvania earlier this year in which the GOP nominee tried to tie the Democrat, Mark Critz, to Pelosi and Obama, the Speaker said, “What we learn from this election and I think hopefully Republicans saw clearly, is nationalizing the election, talking about Speaker Pelosi and President Obama was not as appealing to the public there than Mark Critz talking to them about their jobs.”
Will that also hold true for Democrats talking about Pelosi and Obama in a negative way?

Mark Critz won because that is a died in the wool Dem district AND Murtha’s wife asked them to vote for Critz. I’m amazed Pelosi isn’t dizzy 24/7 from all the spinning.
Not one single corrupt Elitist politician that voted YES on DeathCare should be re-elected.
Who cares....Dems always trash their leaders, they are LYING to get elected.
Then they all vote with Nancy!
Of course the MSM rarely informs the public about this, that is only for the evil Rs.
Thanks for that,I needed a slap in the head.
The time for them to distance themselves from the Wicked Witch and King Hussein was during the vote for ObamanationCare.
They didn’t.
And they will get what’s coming to them.
Oh no! Not you mdittmar.....I was flying off the handle at this entire situation with the Dems. Sorry!
You are entirely correct that Jake is a good reporter.
I can see November from my house.
lol they voted in support of O, Nancy and Harry...expose them all
Oh..know..what the Republican reply should be??? “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it will still be a pig!”
and when the Republicans win the House, every single one of those candidates should start playing “Happy Days are here again” at the same time at their parties.
when Republicans win the house they better perform to expectation..
