The New Media Journal | 'Blue Dog' Democrat: Pelosi Is Too Divisive to Be Speaker

The New Media Journal | 'Blue Dog' Democrat: Pelosi Is Too Divisive to Be Speaker: "In a statement likely to intensify the GOP assault on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reign, a first-term Democratic 'blue dog' congressman said that he would not vote to make her the top House Democrat again. Rep. Parker Griffith, a former oncologist from Alabama, told a town hall meeting this week that Pelosi is too divisive to be speaker. 'I would not vote for her [again],' he added. 'Someone that divisive and that polarizing cannot bring us together.'

Griffith has been fairly independent this year, opposing the stimulus and the cap-and-trade carbon emissions plan, according to The Huntsville Times, which reported his comments."
