I don’t get it, she seem like such a lovable woman.

Facing tough election contests in November, a handful of centrist Democrats are targeting Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in hopes the message will resound with voters put off by the polarizing House minority leader.

Pelosi, a San Francisco liberal who has led the Democrats since 2003, is no stranger to demonization efforts, as Republicans have long used her image in bids to undermine Democratic opponents on the campaign trail.

Some Democrats have adopted a similar strategy this election year, highlighting the degree to which Pelosi’s national prominence and left-leaning politics are seen as a heavy liability in some swing districts with a heavy conservative bent.

Rep. John Barrow (D), for instance, is running ads in Georgia’s 12th District designed to trumpet his independence from Democratic leaders, particularly Pelosi.

“I voted 54 percent of the time with Speaker [John] Boehner [R-Ohio] … and I voted against Nancy Pelosi for Speaker,” Barrow says in one ad.

Irv Halter, the Democratic long shot challenging four-term GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn in Colorado’s 5th District, has a similar message for voters.
