California Democrat and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is painted as one of the more resilient politicians entering the midterm elections in a Sunday New York Times article.
So much so, in fact, she tells the Times and other reporters in San Francisco, "We're not losing...I feel that we will be in the majority and that I will be speaker of the House."
From the Times:
In recent months, the 70-year-old speaker’s days have been packed with private fund-raising events across the country for many of the Democrats who have been publicly avoiding her like bedbugs. (Since the beginning of 2009, she has raised $52.3 million for Democratic incumbents, candidates and the party’s Congressional campaign committee, second only to President Obama among Democrats.)
But Pelosi remains confident with less than a month to go before November's elections.
In response to a reporter's question if she thinks about not keeping the House, Pelosi says, "No, never."
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released September 28 shows Sarah Palin has higher national approval ratings than Pelosi. Thirty-percent of those surveyed have a positive impression of Palin, and 48 percent have a negative impression. Only 22 percent of those surveyed have a positive impression of Pelosi, and 50 "have a somewhat or very negative" view of Pelosi, putting her on the same level as oil giant BP.
Republican strategists have been noting "The Pelosi Effect" as even more beneficial than the Obama effect.
From Yahoo News:
Although she maintains strong support among the Democratic Party's liberal base, the ease with which her opponents have caricatured her as an out-of-touch "San Francisco liberal" has saddled many Democrats in competitive races with political baggage that unhelpfully ties them to the party's leadership in an anti-establishment year. Some, such as freshman Rep. Bobby Bright, D-Ala., refuse to commit to voting for Pelosi as speaker next year. Republican strategists say that it may be even more advantageous to tie Democrats to Pelosi than to President Obama, because although the president's policies are unpopular, he is not as personally disliked.
David Plouffe, President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign manager, told reporters Thursday that Democrats should expect Republicans to take control of Congress in November's elections.
Failing to do so, he said, would be an embarrassment for the Republican Party.
In July, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said there was a strong chance the Democrats would lose control of the House in November.
voter fraud...........?
What she means is that in the past two years they have managed to shove more socialism down out throats than they have in the previous 40 and eventually the slaves will get used to the new, heavier chains and forget and will once again vote for Rats to build on those chains.
Okay, there has to be a pic of Bagdad Bob when you post about Nazi Palousie.
Thanks, you did you job well.
The seat Nancy will be losing is the one on that private plane she flies back and forth in at our expense.
That’s the one that makes me smile.
Over a million dollars a year to fly her botoxed hind quarters back and forth every weekend.
Get to like flying coach Nancy Bwahaahaha.
So, who among our side do you consider a "real leader"?
Here is what I think is the money quote:
David Plouffe, President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign manager, told reporters Thursday that Democrats should expect Republicans to take control of Congress in November's elections.
Failing to do so, he said, would be an embarrassment for the Republican Party.
They are going to try and paint our gains as a loss...no matter how many seats we win. They can't beat us any other way!
Yes, either Pelosi is delusional, or they have prepared voter fraud on a scale previously unheard-of.
