Nancy Pelosi Rise And Fall In Politics

In the last days before the election that ended his tenure in office, Nancy Pelosi insisted that Democrats held the House and proclaimed no regrets.
"I came here to keep a job. I'm here to work," he told an adoring crowd in San Francisco.

Pelosi harvest declaration, which reflects the straight and uncompromising attitude that won his gavel of the speaker and defiant stubbornness that helped him lose.
In fact, Pelosi's enormous power within the House Democratic Caucus, when combined with his approval rating is horrible with the rest of America, help tell the story of the fall Democratic this year.
Pelosi played the House in a hard core liberal legislative program, betting that the American people would reward the Democrats - and President Barack Obama - for the enactment of the radical proposals in health care, climate change and reform Wall Street. While the protest movement began to spread nationwide in August 2009, Pelosi refused to back down, arguing it was better for the Democrats to go down fighting rather than suffer a defeat for not acting.
But unemployment remains stubbornly high, the economy continues to sputter along, and the federal government to accumulate $ 1 trillion deficit over, Pelosi became the personification of everything wrong with many of the Democratic Party.
"I'm trying to save the planet, I'm trying to save the planet," Pelosi said in an interview famous politician in July 2008, revealing an almost messianic belief in his own mission. "And when he wins the election, you win most, and what is the power of the speaker? To set the agenda, the power of recognition, and I'm not giving the gavel away to anyone. "
However, in the end, Pelosi could not even save his own job, and you replace Republicans running the House and have pledged to undo his signature achievements of the health care reform.
Pelosi was defiant in the last hours, told reporters on election night before the polls closed: "We are on track to keep their majority in the House of Representatives."
The conventional wisdom is that Pelosi will step down as chairman and leave the Congress in the near future, but has not yet revealed its plans. If it does, it would end an extraordinary political career of a woman who got her first taste of politics stuffing envelopes in Little Italy, where his father was mayor of Baltimore in the 1950's.
In the weeks before Tuesday's Democratic wipeout, 70 years old, Pelosi insisted that she remain in his deck. But behind the scenes, Pelosi knew that his time was running out. In a recent conference call of leadership, even joked that Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (Maryland) and other Democrats "called" before campaign donations, according to sources.
Pelosi's closest to expect her to throw their support to Hoyer, a one-time rival, to become Democratic leader after announcing his decision to step aside, to square the circle in his legendary leadership struggle almost a decade ago.
But the whole question now facing Hoyer and his colleagues who survived the attack of the Republican Party is this - how long Pelosi hangs the specter of the Democratic Caucus, and how they can recover most of them have wasted so spectacular?
"I think we will take a while to go beyond this," said a Democrat close to Pelosi's house. "10 years, maybe 20 years. I do not know if we'll get the majority, while I'm here."
