	Nancy Pelosi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi (born March 26, 1940) is the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives.
		Once the youngest of their five children became a senior in high school, Nancy Pelosi became involved in Democratic politics, working her way up to becoming party chairwoman for Northern California, and joining forces with one of the leaders of California Democratic Party politics, 5th District Congressman Phillip Burton.
		Pelosi was born Nancy D'Alesandro in Baltimore, Maryland to Italian American parents.

	American Prospect Online - ViewPrint
		Nancy Pelosi's school for hardball was in session one morning in late March, when the Democratic caucus convened to consider her proposal to require chairs on leading subcommittees to observe party discipline -- a term not previously invoked very often on the Democratic side of the aisle.
		Pelosi's greatest skill, however, is her ability to synthesize positions that reflect the various inclinations of her caucus and the political opportunities of the moment -- and the period.
		Nevertheless, Pelosi instructed the DCCC to poll the district in December, and the results unexpectedly designated 30,000 voters as "very anti-Bush." Beyond the district's Democrats' general rage at Bush, there was a specific issue that Pelosi had cultivated: a Dickensian administration proposal to deduct any additions to disabled veterans' benefits from their military pensions.

	Pelosi Hails Democrats' Diverse War Stances
		House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday that Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq, calling the war a matter of individual conscience and saying differing positions within the caucus are a source of strength for the party.
		Pelosi, one of the most liberal Democrats in the House, opposed the war and, as the senior Democrat on the intelligence committee before the invasion, argued that Saddam Hussein posed no imminent threat to the United States.
		Pelosi said Democrats scored significant victories recently, the biggest coming on Social Security, on which she said Democratic opposition to Bush's proposed private or personal accounts blocked any hopes the White House had for changing the government retirement insurance program this year.

	John J. Miller on Nancy Pelosi on National Review Online
		That's because Nancy Pelosi of California is putting her name forward as Gephardt's successor.
		Pelosi is the embodiment of what Kirkpatrick chastised at the 1984 Republican convention, which was held just a few weeks after the Democrats met in San Francisco.
		Pelosi appears to face only a single competitor for the minority leader post: Martin Frost of Texas, a man more in the mold of Gephardt.

	Power Line: Frivolous even by Democratic standards
		But the foolishness of Pelosi's commment resides not in the error of her substantive position, but rather in her fantsay of a "clean slate." While that concept may have some applicability in therapy, there is no such thing in international relations, as anyone who has studied history for five minutes knows.
		Pelosi also fails to recognize that any brownie points we might conceivably gain by closing Gitmo would be lost the first time a Muslim (aided by the MSM and liberal Democrats like Pelosi) claimed that abuse was occurring at some other facility or locale.
		Pelosi called for the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention center in order to give us "a clean slate in the Muslim world." I argued here that Gitmo should not be closed.

	U.S. kills 40 civilians in village attack / BLUNT ASSESSMENT: S.F.'s Pelosi calls Bush 'incompetent' and lacking in judgment
		Washington -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco offered her strongest condemnation yet of President Bush on Wednesday, assailing him as incompetent and declaring that the only way for the United States to triumph in Iraq is to replace him as commander in chief.
		Pelosi, who never fails to mention her support for the troops in Iraq, led the effort against the war in 2003 and has been a consistent critic of the Bush policy.
		Yet in the end, Pelosi said, she is confident that the failures in Iraq, as well as discontent over domestic issues, will defeat Bush in November.

	Cover story: Roots in faith, family and party guide Pelosi’s move to power
		Pelosi’s mother, Nancy D’Alesandro, was no political slouch; as a faithful member of the Democratic Women’s Club, she provided political intelligence and community insights that served the mayor well.
		From the age of 7 until she went off to college, Nancy Pelosi was the mayor’s daughter.
		The Pelosi package -- a text-book plan to stimulate the economy during down times -- unites Democrats; it is short on trendy social engineering and long on the promise of jobs and roads, themes that have solidified the Democratic constituency for generations.
