the Speaker of the House is supposed to push the President's agenda in Congrees. Pelosi did a very good job of doing just that. Much better than Reid did as Senate Majority Leader. So that could be part of it. The rest likely boils down to misogyny if we are going to be honest about it. As someone who is happy to see the House under Republican control, I have to admit I was troubled at the level of nastiness directed at her both pre and post-election.

I suspect that's much of it, though she does lend herself to caricature.

Misogyny is a big part, Tom Daschle and Harry Reid was never hated as much as her

I'm not sure that's enough; Pelosi's far more liberal than either of them.
