Do you think Nancy Pelosi is an effective Speaker of the House?

1. She is about as insiping as hour old oatmeal.

[Jennicut]

10. Really? I find Reid to fit that mold but Pelosi seems like a decent leader to me.

[juajen]

15. I assume you mean "insipid"? NT

[Doremus]

24. Insiping like oatmeal? That's one I haven't heard before.... lol nt

[Nite Owl]

2. I like her as Speaker a lot

she did a great job rounding up the votes, most everything has been passed in the House in spite of the Blue Dogs. Then of course she had to deal with the White House and the Senate which stopped legislation in their tracks.

3. As her self-appointed No.1 fan on DU. I chose the last of course. I support that message. n/t

[juajen]

16. I love her. I think she is a very effective leader and I support her. NT

[Greybnk48]

4. I love her. She's tough, competent and classy.

[tabatha]

5. ditto ^ 100

[joe1991]

12. and accomplished.

just look at all the progressive legislation she's got passed.

Surely she's one of the most effective speakers in history.

Reid, in comparison, has been weak and feckless, imo.

[jenmito]

6. She's the best-she gets things done that nobody thinks she could possibly get done. n/t

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

7. above average

[muffin1]

8. She's great.

:loveya: Nancy!

[CADEMOCRAT7]

9. I think she is the very best. She is a great role model. n/t

[old mark]

11. She is GREAT! Anyone who provokes so much rage among the GOPers

is really doing something right, and they HATE her. They will hate her even more if we can get the votes together to win in November....just when they were measuring her office for new curtains for "Speaker Boehner", too...

13. Exactly-she drives them crazy because she is so effective.

:thumbsup:

[Arkana]

22. Not to nitpick, but this argument makes my skin crawl

because it's exactly the same one the right-wing uses to justify Sarah Palin's existence.

Nancy's a good leader because she does a wonderful job of corralling the House Democrats and making sure that the legislation that gets through the House is worth a damn, not because wingnuts fly into a frothing rage at the mere mention of her (although that is a nice plus).

[slackmaster]

14. She's awful, an embarrassment, AND highly effective

I don't like any of the poll choices.

[Ron Green]

17. I can't forgive her for taking Bush's impeachment off the table.

Momentum could have gone the other way.

[golfguru]

18. I am just glad my wife is not like her

I can't stand women who like to boss poor little me around.

[AlinPA]

19. She must be quite good or the republicans would not be running all their ads against her.

In PA, nearly every negative ad against a Democrat refers to her. So she is effective in pissing ofg the repigs and that is great in my judgment.

[BlueIris]

20. I've really come to appreciate Nancy Pelosi.

Can Pelosi be president?

[Arkana]

21. She's fantastic--she really shows how pathetic a leader Reid is.

[BeyondGeography]

23. Love her

Tough and compassionate. She has done as well as she could.
