Democrats divided on Pelosi's House leadership bid
Illinois Democratic
representative:
Nancy Pelosi is
politically toxic'
WASHINGTON (AP) - In
a fresh sign of turmoil among
defeated Democrats, a growing
number of the rank and file say
they won't support House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi in a politically sym-
bolic roll call when the new Con-
gress meets in January.
"The reality is that she is politi-
cally toxic," said Illinois Rep.
Mike Quigley, one of several Dem-
ocrats who are trying to pressure
Pelosi to step aside as her party's
leader in the wake of historic
election losses to Republicans last
week.
Pelosi startled many Demo-
crats with a quick postelection
announcement that she would run
for minority leader. She has yet to
draw an opponent for the post.
Party elections are scheduled
for next week, although a post-
ponement is possible.
In the interim, Pelosi's crit-
ics have become more vocal in
their efforts to retire her from the
party leadership.
There's "starting to be a sense
that this may not be as much of
a done deal as people might have
thought," Rep. Jason Altmire said
of Pelosi's quest to remain the top
Democrat.
"If enough people come out and
voice a little discomfort with the
idea of her continuing on, maybe
she would reconsider," said the
Pennsylvanian, one of a handful
of Democrats who said he won't
cast a ceremonial vote for her.
The election of a party leader
occurs behind closed doors. A
separate election for speaker tobe
held on Jan. 5, a few hours after
the House convenes for the first
time, is a very visible one. One
member of each party is typically
nominated, and each lawmaker is
then called by name to stand and
declare a choice. The event is cus-
tomarily televised live.
Defections from party disci-
pline are rare in such circum-
stances, but several Democrats
said they would not support Pelo-
si. They did not specify how they
would vote instead.
Despite the criticism, one
prominent ally, Rep. George Mill-
er of California, said Wednesday
night that Pelosi enjoys the sup-
port of the "overwhelming num-
ber of members of the caucus" for
a new term as party leader.
"There has always been in the
caucus and there always will be
in the caucus people who want
to distance themselves from the
leadership. That's not new.t think
that's a very small percentage,"
Miller said.
Pelosi's spokesman, Brendan
Daly, added that the speaker has
strong support throughout the
caucus and "is grateful for the
confidence that her colleagues
have placed in her to become
House Democratic leader."
Most of the Democrats who
say they would not support Pelosi
are moderates from conservative
districts who have toiled to dis-
tinguish themselves from their
liberal leader, and who watched
dozens of like-minded Democrats
go down in defeat after Republi-
cans savaged them in TV adver-
tisements as lapdogs of the San
Francisco congresswoman.
Quigley stopped short of saying
he would oppose Pelosi on a pub-
lic vote, but others did not.
"You would find an unusual
number of people not voting for
the nominee of their party" if
Pelosi were the choice, said Rep.
Jim Matheson of Utah.
"There's a growing number
of people in the caucus saying,
'Why's she running for minority
leader in the first place?' We just
got thumped in this election in a
major way, and to act like we can
just go back and do the same thing
over again. Itjustseems like avery

-ouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California takes the stage to speak to supporters at an election night party in Washington.
P
obvious situation when change is
called for," Matheson said.
Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla.,
another conservative, said
through a spokesman that he,
too, plans to vote against Pelosi in
public and private.
Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., strong-
ly suggested as much in a state-
ment in which he said he wouldn't
back Pelosi "for House Democrat-
ic leader or any other leadership
position in the Congress."
Democrats lost at least 60 seats
in last week's elections, with a
handful of races yet to be settled.
Many of the defeats came in con-
servative or swing districts, and
many of her critics are lawmakers
who survived narrowly.
Altmire won re-election by lit-
tle more than 2 percentage points,
but Quigley ran up more than 70
percent of the vote in his Chica-
go-area district. Pelosi has "prob-
ably been made the scapegoat in
all this," he said in an interview,
but he added that keeping her as
the top Democrat "would make
recruitment very difficult and
winning back the House in two
years nearly impossible."
The prospect of substantial
Democratic defections from Pelo-
si on the first day of the new Con-
gress comes amid a heated debate
between liberals and conserva-
tives about the party's future.
Many liberals assert Democrats
must reinvigorate core supporters
by refusing to compromise with
Republicans on key principles,
while centrists argue they must
tack to the middle to win over
independent voters.
SUBWAY
From Page 1
Munroe said that because Ann
Arbor has been impacted less by
Michigan's current economic hard-
ships than other areas where he has
previously owned franchises, he is
hopeful that the restaurant will be
successful.
Subway development agent Kip
Klopfenstein also said that the
college-town atmosphere was part
of what drew his attention to Ann
Arbor. The company conducted
research on other Subway fran-
chises that are located near college
campuses, before selecting4 Eleven
Lofts as the next site, he said.
Munroe said "there should be no
competition whatsoever" between
the new restaurant location and the
Subway that is currently located in
the Michigan Union. He explained
that the Subway team runs a market
analysis prior to granting a franchi-
see the ability to open a branch, and
it came to the conclusion that there
won't be a conflict with existing
locations.
LSA junior Paige Kolesar, a cur-
rent 4 Eleven Lofts resident, said
she is looking forward to the res-
taurant's opening. Residents of the
apartment building have long been
frustrated with the lack of eateries
nearby, she said.
"It's exciting that they've finally
made a decision aboutit, andI think
it's going to do very well," she said.
LSA sophomore Ryan Klopcic,
who also lives in 4 Eleven Lofts,
said he was attracted to living in 4
Eleven Lofts this year after he was
told Subway would be coming to
the building. He said he thinks the
new Subway will be popular among
students who live in the area, since
residents currently have to walk
three blocks east to State Street in
order to dine out.
"I think it'll do really well, espe-
cially in the winter," he said.
