Democrats pushing for Pelosi’s ouster as leader stand down — at least until elections

Democrats who have pushed for Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s ouster as House minority leader are standing down — at least until after November’s midterm elections.

Republican Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s surprise announcement last week that he would retire at the end of his term boosted Democrats’ hopes that they could wrest back control of the House this fall. The possibility of majority control also gave new life to a looming question: Will Pelosi, or someone else, lead the party?

Democrats say they are focused on one task — winning — and have clamped down on talk of replacing Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has guided the party for 17 years, served as speaker from 2007 to 2011 and is intent on reclaiming the gavel.

I think she is doing a fine job. I say she should stick around for another 30-40 years. Like Walt Disney, she can record her directives to the party to follow after her death. Once in a while they can wheel her out in a frozen cube for the party faithful, you know, like “Disney on Ice.”
