Is Nancy Pelosi Really Thinking Of Hanging On To Leadership Position?

Maybe the gift that keeps on giving, will give some more.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is gathering input from colleagues as she weighs whether to stay in Democratic leadership and run for minority leader after losing control of the House Tuesday night, according to two senior Democratic aides and one lawmaker.

Pelosi has made some of these contacts herself but has had surrogates reach out to other Democrats to test her support level within the caucus.

For members of her inner circle, the calls suggest that she may not be ready “to turn the keys over” while she’s gauging the more general feelings of Democrats outside her tightest clutch of backers, according to one of the aides.

A Democrat who spoke to Pelosi today said she is "just trying to figure out the mood of the caucus." This member told her "to do what she wants, I support you."

I could have sworn I heard her yell "palomino! PALOMINO!" the other night but maybe not.

It actually makes some sense. Those pesky Blue Dogs who didn't like her are gone and all that's left is her hard left base. Sure she'll lose the plane as Minority Leader but she'd still get a car and driver. She may not want to go cold turkey on tax payer goodies.
