Madame Speaker

Yes, Madame Speaker. If things go well in November (by well, I mean the Dems pick up 15 seats in the house) Nancy Pelosi will ascend to Speaker of the House, the first woman to do so. Did you hear that? A woman, a kickass italian grandmother at that, will be second in line for the presidency.
Don’t believe me? I don’t blame you. It’s pretty shocking, I know. Here is an artical from Time outlining the particulars. Basically, she rules. She’s tough and fiesty, and from what I can tell, a REAL-type person. She has been beating the GOP in their own game lately by promoting an unprecedented party unity. She’s walking her talk, too. Her PAC has given nearly half a million dollars to federal candidates this election cycle alone.
I have been so incredibly disillusioned about politics since the 2004 elections, and even though I love Maria, I haven’t gotten too excited by the midterms. It’s been a long time since I felt like I could believe in a politician.
Anyway, reading about Nancy brightens my day and I hope it does yours, as well.
Madame Speaker
