The San Francisco Business Times is currently conducting its “Business Pulse” Survey.
The question: “Should Nancy Pelosi step down as leader of the House Democrats?
Readers of the publication are largely business owners and entrepreneurs. The results as of 9:30 PM on Tuesday are posted below where an astonishing 65% of readers of the San Francisco publication believe Pelosi should step down. A mere 32% say she should stay. Keep in mind this is the San Francisco Business Times – not a national online poll.
Anyone who knows Washington, D.C. knows how popular North Carolina Congressman Heath Shuler is. After all, this man was the Quarterback of the Washington Redskins. It’s not a far stretch. Washington loves him.

If Democrats don’t have the good sense to choose him as the “face” of the party against likely Speaker John Boehner, then God help them (they’ll need it) in 2012.
Shuler admits he doesn’t have the votes to win, but watch him for future leadership once Pelosi finally fades away. This is a guy Republicans ought to take seriously for the future – co-opt him if you can.
