Pelosi Tightens Her Grip
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) moves since the November elections "have shaken up some of her colleagues, with some looking over their shoulders and others worried about how the Speaker will lead her expanded majority in 2009," according to The Hill.

Pelosi is "the unquestioned leader in the House whose enormous power seems to grow by the day..."

Example: "Few members clash publicly with Pelosi. Reps. John Dingell (D-MI) and Jane Harman (D-CA), who were at odds with Pelosi over the last few years, were stripped of their top committee posts."
