Biden: Nancy Pelosi will go down in history as 'second woman Speaker'

By Mike Lillis - 01/27/12 02:53 PM ET

House Democrats will win the House in November, swinging the gavel back into the hands of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Vice President Biden predicted Friday.

"Nancy, I think, is not going to be remembered just for being the first woman Speaker," Biden said, "she's going to remembered for being the second woman Speaker."

Addressing House Democrats gathered on the Maryland's eastern shore for their annual retreat, Biden said the combination of GOP obstructionism and a strengthening economy will propel the Democrats back into control of the lower chamber after just two years in the minority.
