House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told ABC News in an exclusive interview that Democrats "have a very good chance of winning the House" majority in the 2012 elections, pointing to Medicare as the key issue that could propel her party back into control of the lower chamber of Congress.
"We just take it, as I say to the members, one day, one good day, one good week, one good month, one good quarter at a time," said Pelosi, D-Calif., in an interview for ABC News' Subway Series with Jonathan Karl.
Pelosi discussed a wide array of subjects, ranging from military withdrawal in Afghanistan and Libya to the controversy surrounding Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter account and the timing of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' return to Capitol Hill.
Asked directly whether she thinks she will be elected speaker again, Pelosi pointed to 63 congressional districts that President Obama carried in 2008 that are now held by Republicans. House Democrats need to win just 24 of those seats to regain control of the House.
"It takes a strong message ... which enables us to have the mobilization at grass-roots level," Pelosi said. "I was talking about the M's: message, mobilization, the money to get the message out, and management -- management of the campaign by the candidates so that it can be effective.
"What we're about is policy," she added. "What we want is to change the view that the Republicans have that it is OK to abolish Medicare [and] to make seniors pay more for less while we give tax breaks to big oil. That's not a formula that I think works for the middle class."

Wishes won’t make it so, Nancy!!
What they are about is soundbites to sway the (thanks to them) uneducated masses. There’s another M for you.
What “middle class” is she referring to? Thanks to the Dems’ policies, it has disappeared.
Mrs. Prince of Space
With GOP leaders like John Boner anything is possible. Never underestimate the stupidity of the stupid party. Evil beats stupid.
Last fall Pelosi said there was no way the RATS were gonna loose the house. I suspect this prediction will be as accurate.
She’s been drinking her wine again.
FUNP!
Of course it was exclusive, who the bloody hell wants to talk to her?
It’s not chance, Broom Hilda.
Shove it up your Obama, Nancy.
BAR TENDER!!! I’ll have what ever shes having!!
$800billion in handouts to DNC special interest organizations should make fundraising for 2012 a lot easier.
Delusional as they all are.
Yesssssss.....I see an image forming in the crystal ball....Yessssss......An image of the past......A room....with padding on the walls....and a tight fitting jacket.....Yesssssss.....And I see a need for our former speaker to return to the past.....Yesssss.....
When do we get the first good day, much less the first good week.
Once the full transformation of Americanistan has been completed, of course.
First we were told that ‘’0’bamacare’’ would do away with medicare, now we are told that the GOP wants eliminate it. Got your shorts on backwards again Nancy?
Where’s that crackpipe gif? The woman is defintely off her meds.
