Pelosi On A Gingrich Presidency: "That Will Never Happen" (San Fran Nan says she has dirt.)
RCP ^ | 1-24-2012 | RCP

Posted on 01/24/2012 5:04:46 PM PST by GR_Jr.

John King, CNN: "You make your case there passionately for President Obama. But also understand that this is a tough reelection climate for any president, Democrat or Republican in this economy. Because of your history with Speaker Gingrich, what goes through your mind when you think of the possibility, which is more real today than it was a week or a month ago, that he would be the Republican nominee and that you could come back here next January or next February with a President Gingrich?"

Rep. Nancy Pelosi: "Let me just say this. That will never happen."

King: "Why?"

Pelosi: "He's not going to be President of the United States. That's not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction and stand by it, it isn't going to happen."

King: "Why are you so sure?"

Pelosi: "There is something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that's their prerogative. I don't even think that's going to happen."

That is one really good thing about Gingrich. Nobody doubts that he's an aggressive and nasty street fighter. We may need that type of approach. I strongly suspect that Gingrich is quite capable of throwing dirt back, and unlike McCain (who had tons of dirt on Rev. Jeremiah Wright) I believe Gingrich is willing to use it if necessary.

Agreed. I hope Gingrich calls her bluff.

Whatever it is needs to come out now while the primaries are still underway and it will build my respect for Gingrich considerably if he demands it come out now.

However, since Pelosi obviously wants President Obama to win re-election, my guess is that Pelosi wants to hold back on whatever she's got until such time as it can do the most damage, either to get Romney nominated or to get Obama re-elected. Democrats have a long history of trying to spring “October surprises” on Republicans.

That's unethical, but let's be fair: lots of Republicans would probably do the same if we had dirt on the Democrats and they were having their primary. I don't like that, but it's reality that politicians of both parties will hold things until they see the maximum advantage in a timed release.

"Ballots can be counted and recounted under the supervision of representatives from both parties."

Indeed. I'd always found it suspicious that once a paper ballot is cast it can't be traced back to a fraudulant registration, but I guess that's a "privacy" issue. Better than arbitrary numbers spit out by a mysterious, compromised machine that no one ever questions.

Possibly the most disturbing thing is, that NOBODY EVER DOUBTS THESE THINGS! The Tea Party should be up in arms!

Love your tagline BTW. Hate it actually, because it's painfully accurate.

Another misleading headline. She didn’t say she had any “dirt” on Newt. She was voicing her stupid opinion.

Several others have touched on this, but here goes. Many said that 9-11 happened in part because of a ‘failure of imagination.’ Consider this: Nancy *didn’t* say she knew something about Newt. Well, what if she knows that martial law will be imposed before the election? Or that a coup will be complete by then? I hope this line of reasoning is wrong, but....

Couple that with Nancy's MOST INSANE LOOK EVER, in the video -- which is short and is a MUST SEE -- and I think you are on to something.

>>> Here’s the deal: Nancy is trying to scare people off Newt because she knows he’ll crush Obama and educate people on the evils of liberalism. <<<<

Thank you for saying that. Threats shall abound and become deafening as Newt becomes and increasing threat to them. There is enough coming in economic horros to bother with the fearsome bluster of the Marxists, now caught between a rock and a hard place, as things eek out.

BS - this is just Operation Chaos 2.0. If Nancy actually had ANY info she’d leak it through her staff and it would be out there. Dems think it’s in the bag for them no matter who is nominated. I wouldn’t bet against it.

If she had anything material on Newt, she wouldn’t mention it before the convention.

Newt said this morning on Today show when asked about Pelosi’s comment. He said I have no idea what she is referring to and if she knows something to just say it now....

I just hope that it isn’t something substancial and they don’t wait until Newt is the Pres. Candidate in final round and then do another October surprise to bring it out...

Don’t forget the Hotels they own where they have non-union workers employed; but yet gets UNION donations for her campaign. What’s up with that?

Nancy knows squat. This is her being PO’d at Newt's rise and not being able to do anything about it. It's a temper tantrum and she's an idiot because if she keeps this up, Newt will be gunning for her.

Isn’t blackmail illegal or something? Somewhere in the back of my mind I’m thinking I heard that once.

As if there isn’t more, and worst, dirt out there about NP. If our side had any balls, they’d put it out there loudly and often. Might not work, though; corruption and bad ethics are badges of honor for the dems.
