Yes. And here is why...
Nancy Pelosi is the first woman in American history to lead a major party in the U.S. Congress. A leader with a distinguished record of accomplishment on both domestic and international issues, Pelosi is successfully uniting Democrats behind an agenda to keep America strong and prosperous.
Pelosi fought for America's families. She has been a leader in increasing educational opportunity, protecting workers, and promoting health care, including women's health and the creation of a nationwide health tracking network to examine the links between environmental pollutants and chronic disease. She has been a strong proponent of increased investments in health research, and has secured funding to double the budget for the National Institutes of Health. Pelosi also has successfully defeated repeated attempts to reduce funding for international family planning programs.
One of Pelosi's first legislative victories was the creation of the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS program. She has also worked to accelerate development of an HIV vaccine, expand access to Medicaid for people living with HIV, and increase funding for the Ryan White CARE Act, the Minority HIV/AIDS Initiative and other programs vital to people living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS.
Pelosi also successfully increased access to health insurance for people with disabilities by ensuring continuation of their health care coverage. She was instrumental in passing legislation to assist nonprofit organizations in the creation of affordable housing.
In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Pelosi led congressional reviews of the U.S. intelligence and security agencies and authored legislation to create an independent national commission to assess the overall performance of the federal government before, during, and after the attacks (trying to keep Dubya somewhat honest and accountable).
Pelosi has long been an advocate for human rights around the world. She has fought to improve China's human rights record, attempting to tie trade to increased human rights standards. She has also been a leader on efforts to free the people of Tibet.
A leader on the environment at home and abroad, Pelosi secured passage of a provision in the International Development and Finance Act of 1989 which requires the World Bank and all the regional multilateral development banks to review the potential environmental impacts of development projects for which they provide funding.
Looks like she is making great progress in all areas where Bush is miserably failing.

Sure, if the democrats would keep their mouths shut now until election. They might stand better chance of getting a couple more percentage of votes. But since they keep making themselves look bad by talking about a bunch of crap and business they have no idea how to conduct. It is a pretty sure bet, it will go down in a heap of flames. Like it always is for them.

You know what sounds better,
President of the United States Dr. Feelgood.
That name alone would change the perspective of the USA around the world.

Indecision,Indecision...She's just a another Democrat that talks out of both sides of her mouth,and you poor Dem's can't even see that....
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." Nancy Pelosi Dec 16, 1998
If the Dems do take power , we're all screwed..

As a progressive, she scares me to death. I think that she is a little overboard. She would be like a Newt Gingritch of the left. We don't need that again. We need someone who will work with people. That would buy us results. We don't need more arguments we need results!

as far as a nice ring, bullet echoes also have a nice ring to them, but I don't advocate shooting her just because of it
