Pelosi told reporters today, stressing that theyre focusing on the three Rs: the recruiting of candidates, the raising of the resources, and of course, the raising of the issues that are part of the debate.
So we feel pretty confident about it and that confidence some, as I say, the caliber of the candidates that we have and the support that we have at the grass-roots level that has enabled us to attract, as I say, candidate, resources, volunteers and the rest, she added.

After todays caucus meeting, Pelosi called it disappointing that the House Republicans are continuing their obsession with the Affordable Care Act in this new year yet was open to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) moving immigration reform in a piecemeal fashion as long as the goals of comprehensive immigration reform were eventually agreed to in conference. And thats why we have the three Bs the Bible, the religious community; the badges, the law enforcement community; and B, the business community supporting an effort for comprehensive immigration reform. ......
Pelosi was asked if the political climate stacked against moderates could work against Democrats and put taking back the House out of reach.
I certainly hope not, in terms of moderates on both sides of the aisle. We feel very confident. We think 2014′s going to be a great year, for these reasons. One is that the issues that I mentioned, whether its immigration, raising the minimum wage, background checks, all the rest of that are the priorities the American people want to see us act upon and so thats what our debate will be about, she replied.

Not to pick nits, but we’re really talking counter-revolution. Counter to the ‘fundamental transformation’ we’ve undergone courtesy of the wrecking crew in the Get Whitey House.
Nancy Pelosi...stuck in the 70s with her Mary Tyler Moore haircut.
“Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well, it’s you girl, and you should know it!
With each glance and every little movement you show it!
Love is all around no need to waste it.
You can never tell why don’t you taste it!
You’re going to make it after all.
You’re going to make it after all!”
Who can lie right to your face and smile?
Who can take a great nation and throw it on a rock pile?
Well, it’s you girl and you should know it!
With each speech the world knows that you’ve blown it!
Tax money’s all around you need to waste it.
Put some in your purse you lush you’re wasted.
You’re going to pass out after all.
You’re going to pass out after all!
Pelosi added: "And sucking up to latinos every chance we get will make me Majority Leader, again."

BTW, the Senate Immigration Reform Bill Nancy is pushing protects slimy, corrupt Latino Public Officials in US positions of power (like the ones pictured) from prosecution for crimes committed in office.
Yoo hoo, Nancy you forgot "Obamacare"---the signature legislation of your president----how come you Dems forget that, Nance? Huh?
=================================================
Maybe this is why Dems wont run on Obamacare?
As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act :
OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if youve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All Im going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. Youll still have choice of doctor.
Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
