I really don't like al the smears against Nancy Pelosi that are rearing up. Caution

First we win. And it's ok by me if there is debate among the Dems about who would be a new speaker. BUT just remember, Nancy has been a effective Speaker for us, knowing where the bodies lie AND the rules and loopholes of Senate governance. The newbies among our House members would be wise to seek her counsel even if they do not want her as Speaker.

But the most important thing is to not get caught up in rancor among ourselves. We must be a united force for good. Working for change means compromise and persistence. President Obama, much to the chagrin of many progressives on our side, did what he had to do to get the ACA even started and he couldn't have done it without Nancy Pelosi cracking the whip. Now we will have a chance to change it, improve it and get even closer if not achieve our goal of affordable health care for all IF we build toward the perfect using the tools of the good.

Putting on my goggles and water skies for the blue wave that is coming.

1. I've always thought Nancy Pelosi was the

finest Speaker of the House, or one of the finest, we’ve had. Say what you want she knew how to get her members voting, like on the ACA. Same can’t be said for the last two House Speakers.. I give Nancy a big 👍🏻!

3. Tomorrow! Please give us a break from this today

We need to talk about this today like we need additional holes in our heads.

4. The Dem smears on Pelosi,

often seem to come from the same strategic genius types that will cost us the Maryland Governorship today. No way should a Dem challenger lose this year, much less be down by double digits in the polls.
