After a rough start to the week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently wasn't taking any chances that Friday's re-vote on the big Wall Street bailout would go south.

... Pelosi's phone lines and e-mail systems were jammed with thousands of calls and messages railing against the plan as well as the speaker's handling of the crisis.

... Even before the final votes trickled in, President Bush phoned Pelosi on the House floor to congratulate her - something he had never had occasion to do before.

As for Pelosi, she took off late in the afternoon for Baltimore to attend her 50th anniversary high school reunion before flying back home to San Francisco for the weekend.

... According to Mark DiCamillo of the California Field Poll, a statewide survey conducted this past summer found that 39 percent of voters disapproved of Pelosi and 30 percent approved, with the rest having no opinion.

Even on her home turf in the liberal Bay Area, Pelosi scored only a 32 percent approval, with 39 percent disapproving.

Bought and sold, is our (and I use the word "our" loosely) Nancy.

And we are her core constituency.
