Bucking speculation that she would step down after her Democratic Party suffered a "shellacking" in Tuesday's election, outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that she will run for minority leader in the next Congress.If she's counted the votes and thinks she can win I can only assume she must have a drawer full of pictures of fellow Democrats doing unspeakable things with small animals. Why else would they keep the woman in leadership who became the Botoxed face of liberalism run amok?
In a letter sent to Democratic House members Friday, Pelosi, the first female speaker of the House, said she made the decision to run based on recommendations from her colleagues and her desire to continue the legislative work started during her tenure.
"Driven by the urgency of protecting health care reform, Wall Street reform, and Social Security and Medicare, I have decided to run," the letter reads.
Despite her party's loss of more than 60 congressional seats to Republicans, Pelosi was adamant that the legislative accomplishments of the House under her leadership would remain intact.
"We have no intention of allowing our great achievements to be rolled back. It is my hope that we can work in a bipartisan way to create jobs and strengthen the middle class," her letter continued.
She and Harry Reid will be a great set-up for 2012.
