Some of the Democratic Partys most endangered lawmakers are taking steps to distance themselves from Speaker Nancy Pelosi in an attempt to inoculate themselves from charges that they are beholden to the unpopular House leader and supportive of the ambitious national Democratic agenda.
Three vulnerable Democrats from conservative-oriented districts are already running TV ads spotlighting their defiance of Pelosi. One freshman incumbent recently joked about the possibility of Pelosi not being able to take up the gavel next year because she might pass away. Another member from a tough district suggested he might run for speaker himself.
The roster of Democrats currently playing six degrees of separation from Pelosi spans the map, from the Northeast to the South and across the Midwest to South Dakota.
The GOP has used Pelosi, who represents a liberal San Francisco congressional district, as a wedge against vulnerable Democrats for almost as long as she has been in Democratic leadership. But with Election Day just nine weeks away, the sprint away from the House speaker highlights the increasing urgency with which the partys most vulnerable legislators are trying to prove their independence from Democratic leaders and the Capitol Hill agenda that has defined President Barack Obamas first term in office.

Now that SCREAMS desperation. Liberals know they are in BIG trouble with the electorate and now they are trying ANYTHING to keep their cushy jobs.
It's pretty funny that they went along with Pelosi when they thought they could cram legislation down our throats and we would just have to lump it.
But NOW that the election is looming, all of a sudden they aren't so comfortable going along with Pelosi.
I warned this two years ago and I will warn you all again. November 2010 is coming!
