I have been thinking about Nancy Pelosi and her low approval ratings
The low approval ratings Nancy Pelosi has are actually kind misleading. It's true that a low number of people approve of her job performance. However, 50% + have no opinion one way or the other. I think if she was in the media more often and interacting with the American people it would be helpful to her and the Democrats.

1. IF the Democrats keep the house after this November
I can't imagine her being speaker again

maybe Obama can offer her something like ambassador to Italy

and I'm not sure if the house Democrats would re-elect her

the guy who beat Mollohan alluded to the fact that he might not vote for her for speaker if he wins in November

I doubt he's alone

2. What no future for Ms. "impeachment is off the table"? Hard to figure that.

3. The only numbers that matter for her are in her district. On election day.
The numbers from the other 437 districts don't matter.

4. She's also highly approved of in her district.
She's probably the best Speaker of the House since Tip O'Neal and will ultimately give him a run for the money to become the best Speaker in history.

5. I think she has been unjustly beaten up by just about everyone!
And I believe it is partially due to the fact that. . .she is not a particularly likeable woman (too much cosmetic surgery, too powerful, too much like a upper class spoiled housewife). . .but that's just the appearances. I think otherwise she did a good job over the last couple of years.

And I'm not sure if more appearances on TV, etc. would help. . .because of that "biased image" of her!
I think it's too bad!

6. When I think of Nancy Pelosi only one thing comes to mind -
- "Impeachment is off the table!"

That was her true face. Whatever came later is a mask. She cannot be trusted.
