I do indeed. You said that in general he had more to fear from the left than the right. I think he was pretty genuine about wanting to steer more of a middle course, but it didn't quite work out that way.

My favorite Pelosi moment came near the end of the health care bill reconciliation. She agreed to remove a certain part of the bill -- then sneaked it back in! That is not going to go over well no matter what party you belong to.
