Really? I see it as being the exact opposite. I think Bubbette! wants a shrill feminist at the head of the DNC for a couple of reasons. One is this describes Bubbette! herself,so Bubbette! would see her as a mainstream candidate who will cause the wymen to come out and vote. Secondly,it strengthens her hold on the DNC and her ability to manuever behind the scenes to insure she is "drafted" late in the 2004 presidential election. Pelosi as the minority leader is the equivalent of McAuliff at the DNC. It just allows her and hubby better control.
An interesting feature of Sen Pelosi becoming Minority Leader is that Hillary must accept that she not only is second fiddle, but there really isn't anything Hillary can do to ever advance herself over Pelosi in stature if she assumes that role.
Even if she plotted to hold the office of President, she wouldn't eer usurp the natural stature that Pelosi would hae established for herself.
An eternal catfight would evolve at the upper echelons of the free-world,....Ughhhh
