I think you need to step back and look at the bigger picture of this con game by professional politicians.
To begin with, Pelosi doesn't necessarily vote populist. For example, the job-killing-job-outsourcing trade bills -- Pelosi voted for them.
When Pelosi boasted of getting 420 pieces of legislation passed, I ask "What's the big accomplishment of getting 420 pieces of legislation passed in one chamber of Congress but not the other?" It only becomes law when both chambers pass it.
Democrats in both chambers of Congress work as a team. And when they also hold the WhiteHouse, the president controls all of it. They identify what they hope to achieve (pro-corporate legislation) and then strategize how to get it while saving each other's hides with constituents come election time.
Those in liberal districts get to talk a good game about being champions of the People, but when push comes to shove, if their votes are needed to cross over and kiII liberal legislation (like a public option or access to abortion), the DNC will make sure they are covered come election time, with massive infusions of money into their campaign war chests and crushing any principled challenges to them from the left in their primaries.
