Because they are Democrats....and toeing....
the party line (congressmen) or Republicans who hate McCain. Not a one among them, I would be willing to bet, if you hooked them to a lie detector, would not get past the do you really think he would be a good President...lol Don't really think congressmen are the best judges...their approval rating is lower than Bush's. NO offense...just sayin.

She certainly has more experience toeing the DNC line...
I would agree with that. she served how many years on the ethics committee and has called for the heads of Republicans, but with Barney Frank under legal investigation she will not remove him from his committee seat. That kind of "experience" I can do without. Did she also not support John Murtha calling our marines murderers? That kind of "experience" I don't want. I would say that she definitely has more than Obama. Perhaps she should be on the ticket. You continue to want to say if I was truly Independent...look. I like Sarah Palin because I like her credentials and I like her record. I like her bucking her party. Pelosi does not do that. I like her cutting back on earmarks. Pelosi does not do that. I do not trust anyone who puts party first, especially with this debacle going on right now with the economy. You can have all the "experience" in the world, but if you are wrong-headed to start with, what does that matter? I am sick of Washington politics as usual. SICK. And Pelosi represents exactly what I am sick OF.

I will concede of course that Pelosi has more years in government. I should perhaps have said qualifications instead of experience. Barney Frank has more years than her, but I don't think he is more qualified either, for obvious reasons.

Stop tip-toeing around your judgements, just spit it out...nm
