Nancy Pelosi just can't help representing everything that is wrong with the Democratic party; watching and listening to her provide a great tutorial on exactly how not to go about turning the neo-conservative tide under which the people of this nation are being swept to poverty and irrelevance.
First of all, why even address the hypothetical "should the Democrats gain control of Congress"? The answer to any question so prefaced should always be, "we'll address that when it comes to pass."
At this stage, it makes no sense to either take impeachment off the table or leave it on, because without control of congress, the question is moot. There is no right answer that will either galvanize the 70% of the population who feel the President is doing a piss-poor job, or mollify the 30% who still can't see him for the mendacious incompetent he is.
Ms. Pelosi would do well to just keep her mouth shut in the absence of an affirmative plan for leading her party and her constituents to the high ground.
