Who is more scary, Hillary or Nancy?
Is this the best the Democrats have to offer?

Sure makes Condolezza Rice look that much better if you ask me.

That's a very tough question. I think Hillary is more savvy, and as such more in tune with self-preservation. She strikes me as evil, to be sure, but intelligent. Pelosi strikes me more as a lunatic, with no regard for the country.

Pelosi was the bulldog that the democrats needed to counter the partisan politics of the Rove camp. That is why she is combative and why she is minority leader. She may get the Speaker job as a reward, but I don't thinkk the democrats are going to go far to the left. That cost them the last two elections. Pelosi may not he be best Democratic leader for phase two, but she may be just right to take the political heat and keep it off the democratic candidates in 2008.

If the democrats are serious about taking the presidency and the senate in 2008, they need too capture the moderates who will be even more disenchanted with two more years of the Bush administration. To do democrats need to lean towards the center and above all, not appear to be bickering partisans trying to derail Bush for the next two years.

They will take the house today, but they want the big prize, so I don't expect to see the democrats being loud obstructionists in the next two years. Thier winning bet is to simply allow the Bush administration to stay its disasterous course and to not give the swing voters any issues to consider other than policies of the current admnistration.

They want the voters to recognize that a democratic House won't be able to change things . . . it will take a clean sweep in 2008.

Of course the democrats have blown it before. They thought the only counter to extreme right wing politics was to go extreme left in 2004. Bad mistake. A moderate democrat won the presidency in '92 and '96 and another won the popular vote in '00. The leftist had their shot and they blew it.

Republicans will wave their arms and cry "Pelosi, Kennedy, Dean!", but the Democratic candidates must be smarter than that and more centrist than its more left wing elements to win in 2008. Republican moderates like McCain and Giuliani will take the broad middle if they don't.

Both parties will lean to the middle in 2008 and winning candidates will run to it.

About the Democrats learning from the last two elections, forget it. Democrats are like the Bourbons of old France; they remember everything and learn nothing.
