Nancy Pelosi.......

[Charade]

I sometimes feel that way too, when I see her on TV; however, I also do a "sanity check" so to speak because strong, forceful women always seem to have that same effect on everyone. Whether she's doing a good job or not, I just don't know. However, I do know that, in this country, women in high visibility, leadership roles often receive much more criticism then their male counterparts who may behave/act in the same manner. What's perceived as strength, confidence, and bravado in a man is perceived as conceit, *w*itchiness, and "cat factor" in a woman.

Maybe they need a different approach?

She annoys me, really annoys me. I wish they would replace her.

The biggest thing that I hold against Nancy Pelosi is that she took impeachment of President Bush off the table too quickly. I think he and his administration had a lot to answer for and basically got off scot-free.

I think she decided to hold out for "war crimes" in the Hague.

Does this work for you? Maybe now you'd like to apologize for your sarcastic, snarky, personally rude comments to goofycamper.http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/business/economic_stimulus_package/support_for_stimulus_package_falls_to_37

Rasmussen, however, has shown considerably narrower margins for the stimulus than other polling conducted during the same period. Gallup, for example, showed the stimulus preferred by a 52-37 margin, with essentially no change in support from a similarly-worded poll conducted in early January. And a Democracy Corps poll shows the stimulus with wide support, with 69 percent in favor of the initiative against just 24 percent opposed.

In short, there is some evidence -- the trendline in the Rasmussen poll -- that the stimulus has become less popular. There is no evidence, on the other hand, that the stimulus has become unpopular; on the contrary, the preponderance of polling evidence suggests it remains a course of action that most of the public likes.

Why the stark difference between Rasmussen and, say, Democracy Corps? Both are applying a likely voter methodology, whereas Gallup and most of the other polls on the stimulus are surveying all adults. I understand the argument that likely voters are the ones who matter from the standpoint of electoral politics -- but determining who is and who isn't a likely voter when there is no election at hand is a little abstract for my tastes. (Are these people who are likely to vote 2010? In 2012? People who were likely to have voted in 2008? Or what?) This is one situation where I'd trend to prefer the major news orgs' polling, as they tend to place more emphasis on just this sort of issue-based polling as opposed to the horse race stuff.

I'm a Obama-loving Dem and I don't care for her.

 

[TLSnell1981]

After Obama's speech Tuesday night....I'll always see her as a "seal in a snuggie". (phrase borrowed from a fellow DISer.)

I especially enjoyed her cheering.... when Obama mentioned corporate jets. She's oblivious to reality.

 

[yeartolate]

I am very disappointed in her. When Dems took back congress several years ago (and by a wide margin at that) there was a major message that the voters were sending about Bush and his policies....she had an opportunity and blew it.

 

[Disney Doll]

I agree, and I think she's hurting Obama's efforts to be non-partisan.

I agree. And I do think he's trying.
