Pelosi lays down the law with Rahm - John Bresnahan - Politico.com
In talks with Emanuel and others, sources say, Pelosi has “set parameters” for what she wants from Barack Obama and his White House staff — no surprises, and no backdoor efforts to go around her and other Democratic leaders by cutting deals with moderate New Democrats or conservative Blue Dogs.
Specifically, Pelosi has told Emanuel that she wants to know when representatives of the incoming administration have any contact with her rank-and-file Democrats — and why, sources say.
Aha. Obama’s impending post-inaugural lurch to the left will be blamed on Nancy Pelosi, whose constituents (my fellow San Franciscans) will regard it as a badge of honor.
