Is Pelosi Wrong Leader for Dems?Randy Shawbyline‚ Mar. 21‚ 2006Markos Moulitsas, founder of the political blog dailykos.com, echoed my own feelings yesterday when he noted that while he was overly optimistic about the Democrats chances in national elections in 2004, he is much less hopeful about the prospects for major Republican losses in 2006. Moulitsas, whose new book Charging the Gate will be reviewed this week in Beyond Chron, believes Democrats have been too timid in attacking Republican illegalities and policy failures. He fears that this timidity has not given Democrats and independents enough reason to go to the polls, and that Republicans will benefit from the lack of a galvanized opposition. Most interesting was Kos’ less than flattering comments about San Francisco’s own Nancy Pelosi. |
