Nancy Pelosi: We Won November 3, Get Over It. (She was remembering 2008, not 2009)

Republicans should have been saying: Get over it, we won.

Pelosi is in serious denial.  The likelihood of her remaining Speaker of the House after the 2010 elections - slim and each day, slimmer.  Slimmer and slimmest.  Slim moving to really really anorexic slim.

In other words - she is as likely to remain Speaker as the world will be destroyed in 2012.

She is in serious denial.

Pelosi dismisses Dem losses in Virginia and New Jersey

Most House Democrats tried to put a good face on Tuesday's election results, saying they picked up two more votes for a sweeping health care bill that could be on the floor as early as Friday.

But it can't make it any easier for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she works to corral the last holdouts she needs to pass legislation overhauling the nation’s health care system.

Of course, the speaker, who told POLITICO recently she's "not big on showing weakness," brushed aside questions about how the Democratic gubernatorial losses in Virginia and New Jersey would impact her final tally and instead trumpeted the two special election House wins.

"From our perspective, we won last night," the California Democrat told reporters during a Wednesday photo op. "We had one race that we were engaged in, it was in northern New York, it was a race where a Republican has held the seat since the Civil War. And we won that seat. So, from our standpoint, no, a candidate was victorious who supports health care reform, and his remarks last night said this was a victory for health care reform and other initiatives for the American people."

"From our standpoint, we picked up votes last night," a cheerful Pelosi said, "one in California and one in New York."
