re: #282 lawhawk

Allow the contrarian viewpoint from a former journalist. Pelosi is THE issue for the GOP in the election, just as she was in 2006. The fact that so many Democrats have been running away from her in special elections is newsworthy, along with the fact that there is at least an internal rumbling within existing members. That being said, no minority leader has been more successful at holding her party together in opposition. Personally, I think Pelosi survives, but I certainly would not fault a paper speculating about potential changes in top Democratic leadership.

At the same time, I would also be pursuing the Jordan angle full stop. If anything, the OSU football inquiry has unfortunately all but terminated the focus on Jordan. From that perspective, the NYT is definitely failing in its mission.
