It Ain’t Just A River
Denial, that is, which seems to be running deep and wide these days, as evidenced by the giddy and delusional optimism of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisting that Democrats are better positioned than Republicans with voters coming down the home stretch. Her response to Charlie Rose’s reality-based observation that “95 House races are in play, they say”:
“Well, who are they?”
Um, that would be the voters; remember us? Apparently not. The take-away quote from her interview with Rose:
Well let me say why I believe that it would be very difficult for the Republicans to take over the House of Representatives. Let me tell you right here and now that I would rather be in our position right now than theirs.
The problem, of course, is that even Pelosi can’t conjure any compelling specifics to justify her own alleged optimism. Her best attempt is babbling about how Democrats only won 30 seats when Bush and the GOP were hitting all-time lows in popularity. And Democrats are “battle ready” or something.
If that’s the horse Democrats want to ride into November, more power to them.
