Value, there is no goal that is really articulated in this letter, aside from we need to change. i mean, if anything, what it does i think is creates a window where we could potentially get more conservative leadership. when you look at the signatories, it is not necessarily reflective of the diversity of the party. >> she makes a valid point. there is no ideological underpinning to any of this is opposition to pelosi. in fact pelosi is quite liberal, more liberal than some of the folks whose na...

Democrats are expected to hold 272 seats in the next congress with five races still undecided. if the current math holds, pelosi could afford to lose just 14 democrats. in addition, there are other members who say they are opposed to another papa lowsy speakership who have not signed the letter. but, jackie, we dont know even who wrote the letter. nobody is taking credit for that. so the question is, even with these 14 signatures on the letter, how strong is nancy pelosis position inside the dem...

Weekend, and i can live with myself that way. all the way up already to 232 seats to 200 for the republicans. i think based upon the math i am looking at they may end up with a net gain of -- lets see if i can do this, yes, 39, as i can learn from my cousins to write properly when i go over there for thanksgiving. thats the biggest gain for democrats so far, and theres another way to look at this which is actual votes won and lost. this is our friend at the politico report, keeping tabs on the r...

Votes she needs? >> today, jim, a rebellious faction of democrats released a letter trying to show that they believe that they have enough votes to deny her the speakership on the house floor. 16 democrats, both incoming freshmen and some current members signed that letter, saying theyre committed to having new leadership, and trying to make the case that the math just isnt there for nancy pelosi. but there are a lot of caveats. one of the members who signed the letter actually may not win his r...
