Conservatives and libertarians seem to be really upset that a Democratic governor here actually pushed a democratic agenda and got stuff done. What's the point in being elected in the first place if you're not going to try and change things for the better?
I'd rather be a one-term governor that got a lot of stuff done than a two-term governor who didn't do anything out of fear of upsetting some yellow avatars from across the country.
Exactly. That's why Nancy Pelosi will be hailed in the future as one of the best House Speakers ever while people like Boehner will be simple footnotes.
No Pelosi's favorable numbers were mostly in the low to mid 30's for most of 2009 and 2010 although she got a small bump up to 47% favorable right after ACA was passed.
I agree Pelosi is much more of a leader than Boehner is. She always kept her caucus together no matter what. That's something Boehner can learn from her. Boehner is probably a Tom Foley(D-WA) clone that nobody will remember so your right there.
