ORIGINAL: TheHeretic What's funny here is that the Democrats are so confidant of the Republicans putting up a detestable, unelectable, extremist that the middle recoils from as a candidate against Pres. Obama in '12, yet they refuse to acknowledge that Pelosi has lower approval than Sarah Palin. Huh? Who knows whom the Republicans will run. The Tea Party candidates cost them the Senate this term, and the last crop in '08 was pretty wild, including formerly sane McCain running amuk and shooting from the hip (including the desperation of adding Palin for some female vote), changing him from someone I liked in 2000 to someone I just couldn't support in 2008. You're making up the Pelosi shit. Many in the House are not at all pleased she wants to run for minority leader, and it's not at all certain she'll win the post. But on other hand, as you well know, it's always easier for the minority leader, who can sit back and take shots all day while the majority leader takes the heat. We'll see. Hardly a done deal. As for 2012, we've both many times seen some relative unknown step up and win strong support. Newt wants to run, but he's unpopular even with many Republicans. And establishment Republicans themselves, while they're not going to say it publicly, are terrified of a Palin run, as it would indeed likely cost them the election (and yes, Obama is vulnerable in 2012, no doubt--he needs to make visible changes by the State of Union if he plans to continue--but then, despite disapproval, he's STILL more popular than either Congress or Republicans, so who knows). But it's early. Anything could happen yet, and may.
