Pelosi: Thanks to Romney, "I Feel Better" about Retaking the House
Townhall.com ^ | April 13, 2012 | Erika Johnson

I'd been under the impression that, while the Senate and the presidency are going to be legitimately hot contests, the Republican majority in the House is going to be the least of conservatives' worries. Apparently, however, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi thinks that all of this outrageous outrage over the trumped-up "war on women" is such a powerful demonstration of Mitt Romney's supposed incompetence that President Obama is falling back into the good graces of lady voters everywhere. Err... if you say so...

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that strong evidence of a gender-based support disparity between Republicans and Democrats makes her feel "better" about the chances for Democrats to retake the House in November. ...

The war between President Obama and Mitt Romney over female voters intensified this week, with Romney asserting that 92 percent of the jobs lost under Obama were women's jobs, and Obama and the Democratic National Committee firing back that Romney's campaign couldn't even answer whether he supported a major piece of equal-pay legislation.

"I would have said, two months ago, we had a 50-50 chance of winning the House," Pelosi said.

"Since then, so much changed because women have shifted in large measure to the president and to the Democrats," she continued. ...

"If this is an example of how Mitt Romney is going to run for president, I feel sad for the process and country, because either he doesn't know what the facts are or he doesn't care," she said.

The approval rating of the incumbent president is of course an important factor in forecasting Congressional elections, but just logistics-wise, it would take quite the shakeup for Democrats to regain so many of the available seats, and President Obama's approval rating has been all over the place of late: in a recent Gallup poll of twelve swing states, seems that the "Republicans want to ban contraception!"-hooey may have taken its toll, as Romney lost his lead among women voters in those states between February and March; but in a new Fox News poll, Romney is beating President Obama nationally, 46 versus 44 percent. As ever, with that evergreen disclaimer: plenty can change between now and November, and at the end of the day, it really is anyone's game. But be careful not to get cocky there, Ms. Pelosi -- especially with The One instituting an every-Democrat-for-himself approach to collecting campaign cash.

I feel better about us keeping the house, now that Stretch has opened her mouth.

This was, of course, before the Hillary Rosen comments hit the fan—even with Independent/Democrat women.

“George Soros” will be in-control of “Counting” our Electronic Votes!!

Scytl is a global company which actually Counts the electronic votes….. “George Soros” owns this Company (or he owns a good portion of this company)

Obama ensures his fraudulent re-election….
a Soros-owned Spanish company will count the ballots !

Here’s another of those quiet, subtle, but very dangerous little stories that has somehow slipped past all the mainstream media outlets.

The United States of America has a brand new private “VOTE COUNTING” company that the Obama administration has personally handpicked.

Scytl is the name of the Spanish Company owned by “George Soros”!!

Obama needs to be “removed” before the election & charged with “Treason” against The United States of America for using Forged Documents to become POTUS!!!!!!

Her reasoning might be incorrect, but her conclusion could be correct. Romney on the top of the ticket is going to depress GOP turnout. The Dims could end up winning some seats by getting close enough to cheat into a win.

I remember her saying in 2006 that if the Democrats won the House (which they did), the Speaker's gavel would be in the hands of America's children.

Turns out she was right, as history has shown.

Isn’t the lower price from 2008 — not 2006. Also, I thought Bush ended his Presidency with rates below $2.

“Her reasoning might be incorrect, but her conclusion could be correct.”

She is absolutely correct. Millions of the most right wing people will sit home rather that vote for mittens. Millions of others (like me) will hold their nose and vote for him, but will do little else. And yes, I have been there before.

In 1994, I and every other gun owner in America was up in arms. I could call almost any of my friends and get a commitment of time, money, support, you name it.

By the time 1996 rolled around, they were so disenchanted with Dole that nobody would commit to anything. And I have a strong belief that many of them didn't even bother to go to the polls.

That's how we got the “bent one” in 96, and how we'll probably get the “zero one” in 2012.
