Jeff Greenfield on CNN: "For weeks Republicans have been saying, 'Do you really want Charlie Rangel of New York running the Ways and Means Committee, which does taxes? Do you really want John Conyers at the Judiciary Committee? Do you want Nancy Pelosi from San Francisco?'—a code word that has a pretty clear meaning of 'extreme liberal.'"

Yes, Jeff. That's what "San Francisco" is code for.
