House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi denies that what happened on Election Day last week had anything to do with waves or approval. “I do not believe what happened the other night is a wave,” Pelosi said. “There was no wave of approval for the Republicans. I wish them congratulations, they won the election, but there was no wave of approval for anybody. There was an ebbing, an ebb tide, for us.” Well, the GOP picked up at least 12 seats in the House and at least eight in the Senate to take control of that chamber. Memo to Nancy: The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one.
