I'm down with this. Pelosi has proven adept at running the caucus and now that so many of those obnoxious Blue Dogs have left us it'll be even easier to stand up to the nonsense that Boehner and Cantor are about to try and pass. Pelosi also seems to be the only candidate from the left-wing of the party, so if the choice is between her and Heath Shuler then this shouldn't've even be a discussion for any self-respecting Democrat. I'll be surprised if he gets more than 40 or 50 votes.
My one concern, as others have expressed, is that she is indeed a polarizing figure. But I fail to see how whoever else becomes Minority Leader won't become one as well so it's sort of a wash.
Pelosi wins 150-43.
