The Patriot Post® · 'It Could Have Been Worse'

In March, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi predicted she’d take back the speaker’s gavel this November – because of ObamaCare. “I believe it’s a winner,” she said at the time. Oops. It didn’t turn out that way as the GOP took even more seats in the House to put the gavel further out of reach for Pelosi. As of this morning, Republicans gained at least 12 seats. Several remain undecided, and they could gain as many as 18 – expanding their majority to a high not seen since the Roaring Twenties. Pelosi acknowledged Tuesday, “It’s a difficult night.” That’s putting it mildly. But hey, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel (D-NY) tried to put a positive spin on it, saying, “[I]t could have been worse.” Small consolation.
