No bad news here!

By Mike Soraghan - 11/04/09 11:19 AM ET

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she sees no need to be worried by Republican victories in two governors races last night, because for her the news was all good.

"From my perspective, we won last night," said Pelosi (D-Calif.), referring to the New York special election for the House seat previously held by Republican Rep. John McHugh. "We had one race were engaged in."

Democrat Bill Owens won the seat in the wake of what some called a "civil war" within the Republican Party. Third-party conservative candidate Doug Hoffman, backed by "Tea Party" conservative activists and national conservatives like former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, forced Republican Dede Scozzafava out of the race.

Pelosi said she saw a win for her health care plan, noting that Owens mentioned the health care legislation in his victory speech.

"In his remarks last night he said it was a victory for health care reform and other initiatives," Pelosi said.

Obviously she's delusional to believe that they "won" last night. I hope she and her other colleagues maintain that callous, holier than thou attitude. We'll be sure and remember that in 2010 and 2012! We're going to take back OUR country one city and one state at a time!BY Randy on 11/04/2009 at 12:13
This Pelosi is something else.Not just ugly, but stupid too and worse - she thinks all Americans are stupid.BY Ethan Smith on 11/04/2009 at 12:18
This shows how out of touch Pelosi is with the American people. Her elitist view is so out of touch with the realities in this country. There needs to be a "change" and she is the one who needs to be put out to pasture.BY Tom Fickay on 11/04/2009 at 12:24
This women must have been a failed abortion attempt. How could anyone believe that she is not crying inside and calling out a bunch of racial slurs left and right. The blacks will pay for this, especially after all that the democrats have done for them.BY pafaery on 11/04/2009 at 12:27

Pelosi's comment on only being engaged in NY simply shows that's shes not engaged with anything or anyone except herself. How then does she explain the three trips Obama made to NJ for Corzine? Perhaps when she is booted out of office, she'll consider that a victory as well!BY leda on 11/04/2009 at 12:33
She's running the country as it is in her warped world. She has blinders as fas as she can see and the people have had enough. Keep thinking you won Pres. Pelosi as you pack your bags in a couple of yearsBY GREG ROSATI on 11/04/2009 at 12:34
she's not stupid. The Good Lord just saw fit to give her a big mouth without a brain. wait until next November and see what the mouth utters. Mrs Schrew has to go…and take the rest with her.BY ed ferry on 11/04/2009 at 12:36
