Listen, yes listen to the following regarding possible changes in congress. What is going on with the leadership within the Democrats? Do you think it is a good idea? What do you think is the mandate republicans speak of? What challenges does the tea party ideology pose for the established Republicans? What implications does this all have for the upcoming 2012 election?

Within the Democratic party, Nancy Pelosi is seeking to lead the Democrats in the House after her party's historic defeat. From the Democratic view, they believe this is a smart idea because they believe in her agenda and her leadership so far and believe that staying with her will be in their best interest. However the Republicans think that it is ironic, yet beneficial to Republicans for the Democrats to retain Pelosi as a leader considering she has been the target of Republican and Tea Party activists bringing them success in this past election. They feel a Pelosi leader would work perfectly into their plan to take the next presidential election, take majority in the Senate and increase their majority in the House. I think this will work for the Republicans but a bad move for the Democrats. The tea party movement faction of the Republican party will hold the Republicans in the House to the promises made in this election. If the Republicans in the House don't stay pure and true to the tea party ideology, then they will hold their votes. This implies that the 2012 election will be heavily influenced by the tea party ideology.

What's happening is that after the Demorcrats' loss in this election, Nancy Pelosi is trying to lead them. I believe this is a good a idea because she had maintained them them as the more dominant party in the Senate. Although, it was believed that Republicans feel she was the catalyst that caused the Democrats to lose in the election. The challenges the tea party ideology posses is for the Republicans to complete the things they promised. Also, Republicans will now be governing instead of complaining and saying what they feel is better, which this will pose as a challenge. Republicans now have to take the initiative as leaders and complete the actions they were going to do. The implications this has for the 2012 elections is that votes will be influenced by them. If they don't complete with their ideas or make things worse, the people will want change and go back with Democrats being the head of House.

After the Republican's took the majority of the house, Nancy Pelosi is seeking to continue to lead the Democrats in the minority. She has the support of the democrats, who argue she has made many good decisions over the years. Republicans now have the responsibility of running the house, and now they have the opportunity to do all the things they used to complain and whine about. They are choosing a new speaker of the house, tentatively John Boehner. This gives Republicans a chance to prepare for the 2012 presidential election, because their primary goal is ensuring Obama will not be allowed to run for a second term. Also, the republicans seek to gain control of the senate and later, the executive branch.

Nancy pelosi is trying to lead the Democrats after a loss in the Democrats which is a good thing because she is a good leader. The Republicans now are running the house and have to do the things they have been wanting to do. In the next election if the Republicans dont accoplish what they set out to do they will most likely loss the house to the Democrats. one of there major goals for the Republicans is for Obama not to get realceted and to gain control of the senate.

Nancy Pelosi was the speaker of the house and she has now lost the position, because Republicans have the majority in the House. She wants to be the minority leader, but not all democrats are sure that’s what they want. I do think it’s a good idea because she has been a good leader, because she was able to get the democrats united. So republicans want to overturn the health care bill, creating a mandate. The challenges the Republicans have is that they don’t want to alienate the tea party yet, believe in negotiating with the democrats .The tea party believes in 0 compromises. It republican are unable to pass any bills because of the extreme polarization the country may turn on them in 2012.

Nancy Pelosi is trying to lead the Democrats after there loss to the Republicans. I think this is a good idea because she knows what she is doing and has been a good leader. The challenges that are going to be faced are doing what they were talking about, now that the Republicans have power they have to do what they were saying. The rupublican leader is Joe Boehner.

What is happening to the democrats is that Nancy pelosy is trying to lead the group after the republicans won over the seats in a crucial battle. The democrats do like this idea because Nancy led them to achieve many of the.democratic goals when she was in charge of the house. Now that the republicans are now in charge they can do many things that they wanted to do over the last few years. They will try to incorporate the tea party and democratic ideas. At the 2012 election, the republicans will have a good chances at holding their spots if they keep up their party idealogy

Nancy Polosi is trying to take over to become the leader of The House of Senates after the Republicans big win. The Democrats see this as a positive thing, as they admire her and her leadership. The democrats know that she has brought them great success in the past, and they would like to continue that although they are not in control of the House of Senates. The Republicans find it sort of ironic that Polosi is trying to become the Democratic leader, because the Republicans that are for the Tea Party and Republican election went against her, and won the election. So why would she be a good leader again? Since the Republicans are now in charge they will get to go through with their ideas that they didn't get to in the past because at that time the Democrats were in power. The Democrats will have to learn how to not have the power and keep their ideas to themselves. In the 2012 election, the Republican party will have a good chance in staying in power as long as they go through with everything the promised the people in order to keep their voters. Therefore, as long as they keep up their party ideology, they should remain in the House.

It seems that Nancy Polosi is attempting(and unfortunatly succeding)to become the leader of the The House of Senates. The democrats seem to love the idea because shes "done an amazing job for the last two years". I bet now that the republicans are powerful they can do what they have wanted to do basically not involve any demorcatics or tea partiers. If they keep up their party ideology they will remain in the house for the 2012 election.
