Nancy Pelosi Announcement: House Democrat Retaining Role As Party Leader

i personally am pleased she has decided to continue the skirmish, she was a great leader  inspite of right wing woman haters. you can tell when you're effective when the other side tries to ostracize you.
WASHINGTON -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Wednesday to her caucus that she's staying on as the top Democrat in the House, ending weeks of intense speculation about whether she might bow out, a Democratic source confirmed to The Huffington Post.
The source also confirmed that Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) will remain as chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Pelosi's decision, which she kept so quiet about that even her Democratic colleagues and staff didn't know until the last minute, means that the current line-up of House Democratic leaders will largely stay intact in the next Congress.
 But Pelosi has never been predictable. She defied conventional wisdom in 2010 when, as House Democrats became the minority again and she lost her post as speaker, she stayed on as minority leader. And there are plenty of people in the party who want her to stick around, in part because of her fundraising prowess: since she first entered leadership in 2002, she has raised $328 million for House Democrats. In this election cycle alone, she raised $85.1 million and hit 692 events.
Pelosi's move means that House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) and Assistant to the Leader James Clyburn (S.C.) will likely stay in their posts.
nothin' but a "G" thing, Good
