Nancy Pelosi still safe?

We've all heard stories on how powerful Nancy Pelosi is. But can she hold her seat as long as the Dems hold the house? Quite possibly, as it turns out. 24 House members were interviewed, and none said she should be removed or challanged for her seat if the Democratic majority holds. Call it the flush of winning. It's always natural that the strong one should stay unless something major (saying, losing a chamber) happens. And the Republicans who have constantly predicted winning the House may have accidently kept her in. Think of it this way: by keeping majority, she  will seem to be a fighter, a survivor. In other words, someone much stronger then previously thought possible. History also has something to contribute: since the start of the 20th century, no majority has held the House but replaced the speaker. There are, at this point, anywhere from 25 to 60 House Seats up for grabs.
