Pelosi Says Democrats Have 'Very Good Chance' to Win Back the House in 2012
ABC News ^ | 6-2-11 | JONATHAN KARL and JOHN PARKINSON

Posted on 06/02/2011 2:47:07 PM PDT by Justaham

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.

Fancy Nancy’s two prong game plan
1. The evil Republicans are seeking to destroy medicare and social security and will not be happy until senior citizens are baying at the moon for a can of Alpo
2. The GOP is planning to offer children rather than dog on Korean restaurant menus

The last time I saw a face like her mug it had a hook in it.

And, I tossed it back. Too ugly to eat...

I for one won’t do that. but your right. They will.

I’ll vote for Bachmann (I’m in her district so I get to vote for her as long as shes running for something :) ) and maybe I’ll vote for mittens just because I am already there.

Problem is with the shyt storm that is brewing, do we really want republicans in control when the shtf?

Well, they might steal 24 seats but they aren’t going to win 24

Reminds me of the Liberal Party of Canada, prior to May 2.

I’ll wait until redistricting is completed before making predictions.

And the lefties think Sarah Palin is stupid. With Pelosi as an example, even rocks look smart.

The rats and the MSM are also saying that Hussein is unbeatable in 2012 but don’t believe it. They are trying to sell this meme so that it hopefully influences public opinion. Watch. The Media will pick it up and continually repeat it now. They have been given their talking point.

The left thinks this is a winning strategy ever since they were able to convince a good deal of people that Sarah Palin is an incompetent idiot. They can’t win on issues, a vision for this country, or even attempt to run on their record so what to do, try mass hypnosis...

I don’t think they are even going to be able to steal them. I know this isn’t scientific but I gauge people I work with and absolutely everybody is mortified by what’s happening in our country right now. Far different than the situation in 2008.

Even the lefties who were very vocal do not want to talk politics at all. The only thing they can come up with is, “It took Bush eight years to get the country in this condition, Obama can’t fix it overnight.” Blah, Blah, Blah...

Now people want REAL hope and REAL change.

House Democrats need to win just 24 of those seats to regain control of the House.

That’s depressing. However, hopefully the Republicans will do SOMETHING so that the voters like what they are doing.

$5.00 gasoline, no jobs, houses underwater (literally),

Everyone HERE should move to Virginia. We are doing great here. Gas is only about 3.40 and unemployment for the state is about 6 percent. In Virginia Beach it is only about 5.4 percent. However, taxes are HORRIBLE.
