Pelosi to Alabama
The speaker at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner for the state’s Democrats next month? Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D - CA). Surprised? Me, too.
On one hand, she is the nation’s top ranking Democrat, no small thing. On the other, some Alabama Democrats have not exactly been embracing the party label.
New to me, but I see now that Left in Alabama had this up already.

Nancy Pelosi is not just the top ranking Democrat in the country, she’s the first woman ever to become Speaker of the House of Representatives, the highest political office a woman has held in this country. She is a wonderful role model for young women in America — a living example that hard work and persistence will shatter the glass ceiling. I’m thrilled that the ADP invited her and even more thrilled that of all the invitations she gets, she accepted this one to speak in Birmingham, Alabama.

on the other hand she is a leading opponent of the Northrup Grumman/EADS tanker contract that mobile just landed which would bring thousands of jobs and millions of dollars to Alabama. That and I just don’t like her ever since her little hissy fit about not having a bedroom on the airplane that she is provided as speaker of the house.
and I am a democrat.
