What bad legislation?
The comprehensive ethics reform - her first order business as Speaker in 07 (that Boehner may gut)? The pay equity for women act? The credit card bill of rights act? The financial reform act regulating Wall Street? The campaign finance reform (that Republicans killed in the Senate).
So you must mean the bi-partisan TARP legislation that Bush signed. Or health care reform that most Americans, while perhaps not liking all of it (based on the massive misinformation campaign) dont want repealed, or the stimulus, which many Congressional Republicans opposed while bragging at home about bringing jobs to their state/district (with stimulus money).
For most Americans, the election was about the economy. Pelosi was added into the mix because it sells.
Hell, nearly 40% of Americans cant even name the sitting Vice President (recent poll). So do you really think they know anything about Pelosi other than what they hear on Limbaugh/Beck.
