Yesterday there were at least 4 who wanted her to send the articles to the Senate (Feinstein, Blumenthal, Murphy and Manchin) but today MSNBC is reporting that they are no longer saying this and are supporting her decision to wait. Did calls from constituents or a talk with Schumer do the trick?

(51,623 posts)for too long is scary. I picture cobwebs, etc linger in there as well as creepy spiders and perhaps a few tumbleweeds.. I do not envy her that position for a second.

(18,890 posts)I RESPECT Pelosi, and I am willing to put my future in her hands (in all honesty there is no other choice I see).
Pelosi reminds me of my Paternal Grandmother..... I soooo love her.

He was given a lot of time by Nicolle W, but as soon as he was gone she acted as though he had not made a contribution at all. Wonder if he'll be back.
In any case, there's a reason I usually (not always) refer to her as Madam Speaker: she IS on a par with Tip O'Neill and Sam Rayburn, possibly even surpassing them, a great power in her own right, runs a co-equal branch of government, and is next in line to the Presidency.
She's not to be patronized.
