Then again, Pelosi was on a three-hit LSD trip when she made this prediction.
Via The Hill:
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.
Pelosi ranked the chances as better than fifty-fifty.
“I’ve always felt good about it,” she said Wednesday in San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. “But now I feel better.”
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 fifty-fifty chance of winning the House,” Pelosi said.
