Nancy Pelosi became the first female speaker of the house today. She's a sign of the new shift of power in congress. Do you think she has what it takes to lead the house? Can the democrats really do anything about the mess in Iraq?

I do believe she has what it takes to lead the House, however, I fear in what direction she is going to take that House. She and Harry Reid revealed their 100 hour plan. This plan included legislation on student loan interest rates, minimum wage, lobbying and ethics reform, and stem cell research. It seems to me in a period of time when the amount of legislators in DC is the greatest, they would want to tackle the issues that made them visible. Immigration reform, the war, corruption. The Democratic Party promised a lot in 2006 and in order to maintain their new found power they are going to have to deliver and deliver quickly and forcefully.
