Day By Day October 13, 2010 – Bad Witch

Chris, being associated with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is toxic this election cycle. Nobody running for Congress wants to be associated with the San Francisco Far Left POL.The Democrats at her helm are even cannibalizing their own. Look at this.

A Democratic candidate for Congress accused the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) of pulling its support for his campaign because he said he wouldn’t support Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as House Speaker.

State Sen. Roy Herron (D), who’s running for the opening seat held by retiring Rep. John Tanner (D) in Tennessee’s 8th congressional district, suggested the DCCC’s decision to cancel ad buys in the racerefusal to back Pelosi.

A handful of Democrats have said they wouldn’t back Pelosi to remain asleader of the House Democrats, and several more have been noncommittal. Rep. Bobby Bright (D-Ala.) released an ad on Tuesady touting his pledge to vote against Pelosi, and Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) has suggested Pelosi’s leadership might not be tenable if Democrats sustain heavy losses.

So, now the Democrats are running not against their Republican opponents but against their own Democratic Party leaders?

Desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose.
