What? I thought thingswere going so well! Apparently not:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s own party is turning on her, apparently because of a perception among California Democrats that she has not done enough to shake up the status quo in Washington, D.C., according to a Field Poll released Friday.
Congress overall is doing even worse with California voters, with an approval rating sagging to 30 percent or below for only the seventh time in the past 15 years, the poll of 1,201 registered voters found. Both Pelosi, the San Francisco Democrat who became speaker this year, and Congress as a whole have fallen short of voter expectations since taking over both houses, poll director Mark DiCamillo said.
“I think the reason for her decline and the low ratings Congress is getting is that voters here are not seeing any change,” DiCamillo said.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s approval rating of 51 percent is down 10 percentage points since March, but consistent with her average over the years. Sen. Barbara Boxer’s rating also has slumped, from 54 percent in March to 44 percent. Both Boxer and Feinstein, however, still enjoy the approval of more voters than disapproval of them.
For Pelosi, it was the first time the poll showed more people disapproving than approving of her performance – 40 percent to 35 percent, with 25 percent having no opinion.

The Dems just don’t enough seats in congress yet to do anything worthwhile.
The 2 years between 2007 and 2009 are like democratic limbo. Bush can’t pass any of his ideas and the dems can’t do the same.
All this will, of course, change dramaticly when come Jan.20th 2009 we will have a Democratic president AND a stronger majority in congress.
Until then, we all just have to wait.

Would you like to make a wager on this, PCD?
I’m sure you aren’t drunk enough yet to be able to remember a little bet of honor, right?
If I am correct, you get the fuck off away right voices - forever.
If I am wrong, I’ll take a hike.
What do you say?
