Pelosi Safe?

With the re-election of George W. Bush and additional Republican seats in the House and Senate, there will be some changes in Congressional leadership in the new Congress.

Obviously, Tom Daschle will be gone and there are several candidates for his successor. Will the Democrats pick a more moderate leader or continue with obstructionist politics as usual?

There is one leadership change in Congress that the Democrats seem unlikely to change. A position that, based on the outcome of the election, should be change sooner than later. It seems, however, that House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), is safe.

The question is why? Did not the Democrats learn that far left politics is a disaster? Did the Democrats not understand that the Republicans picked up seats in both houses? Do the Congressional Democrats not understand that Pelosi is farther to the left than Kennedy or Kerry?

If not, the 2006 mid-term elections will be another disaster for the Democrats. So much of a disaster that 2008 looks like another banner year for Republicans no matter who the Democrats nominate.
