Bad news for Bella Pelosi

She really has no clue regarding NASCAR and its fans.  They are mostly conservative....far away from her lib talking points.  She'll be about as popular there as a turd in a punchbowl.

Pelosi Skips Calif. Primary to Work the NASCAR Vote

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has remained neutral in the Democratic presidential primary. So much so that instead of spending Super Tuesday getting out the vote in her state's crucial primary contest or capitalizing off all the press attention -- she stayed in Washington to schmooze with a NASCAR driver.

Pelosi, who voted on an absentee ballot last week (for whom, we know not), hosted two-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson in her Capitol suite Tuesday afternoon for the ostensible purpose of congratulating him on his recent victory.

The meeting and photo-op is also a great chance for House Democrats to continue making inroads with the "NASCAR Dad" vote. But House Republicans are hoping to cut Democrats off at the pass, especially in light of the little controversy last fall in which a Democratic official suggested staffers should get immunizations for various diseases before heading on a congressional delegation trip to NASCAR Country. Democrats later said the suggestion was made because staffers would be visiting health care facilities -- and had nothing to do with NASCAR.

But the perceived gaffe was a gift to Republicans, who kicked their spin machine into overdrive trying to win political points with the coveted NASCAR constituency. They continued today, with word that Pelosi was meeting with Johnson.

"The Democrats better hope that Nancy Pelosi received her immunization shots before taking the podium with Jimmie Johnson today," says National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Ken Spain, who's known for his love of NASCAR. "She might come down with a case of red-blooded Americanism if she isn't careful."

The comments following the story are amusing:

Sure hope Nancy had all her immunizations up to date. Be a shame if she caught some common sense or patriotism.

I wonder if Jimmy will be a fan of Stretch Pelosi when she requires NASCAR to drive hybrids and have manditory vacinations in order to mingle with the "elites."

...and the obligatory moonbat:

What is the carbon footprint of a nascar event? Does her hipocracy know no bounds!

Of course.

Bela Pelosi imagines she has the NASCAR vote, in the same sense the primitives imagine Barack Hussein Obama has the military votes.

It's an unreal world, that unreal world in which the primitives (and Bela Pelosi) reside.

what exactly does Nancy Pelosi have to talk about during this election?? all the legislation they *didnt* get thru? all the obstruction the GOP did to them?

her and Harry Reid have been quiet because they have ZIP to discuss; they havent cleaned up anything in the House (like she promised as the first woman to hold the gavel) and they havent turned out anything of substance in the form of legislation.

she doesnt want the spotlight .. she is running from it.

You touched on the reason Pelosi is absent from public view and will stay that way for the rest of the year.  Pelosi is a walking billboard advertising the incompetence and ineptitude of a liberal woman in power.  That is not good for Team Clinton.

Heh, remember the "First 100 days" promises?
