Column: Nancy Pelosi just answered one big question. But another remains
LA TimesAs she announces her reelection campaign, Pelosi ends speculation that she will retire leading up to the midterm elections. Nancy Pelosi’s plan to seek reelection extends one of San Francisco’s longest-running, most-fevered political guessing games: Who will succeed the Democrat when she finally does step aside? Pelosi will attract, as she always does, at least one candidate running to her left, who will insist — in true San Francisco fashion — that she is not a real Democrat. She won’t, of course, live forever, and so for many years there has been speculation — and some quiet jockeying — over who will eventually take Pelosi’s place. Would she time her departure to benefit her daughter by, say, requiring a snap election that would take advantage of Pelosi’s brand name?
