Nancy Pelosi is talking smack about taking back control of the House of Representatives.
“On August 11, when Gov. Romney chose Ryan, that was the pivotal day,” Pelosi told CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley on “State of the Union.” “That is the day things really changed. We were on a path. I would have said to you then we were dead even. Well, the momentum is very much with us, the Medicare issue in this campaign.”
But, it won’t be easy. A cursory review of the races only unearthed about 33 solid pick-up opportunities. We need 25. That means the Democrats have to come close to running the table and not suffer more than a couple incumbent defeats. And, even then, the majority will be so small that Pelosi might not have the votes to become Speaker again. We could see Steny Hoyer jump in front of her.
