Nationalized Elections, Now and Then

"What we learned from this election - and I think hopefully the Republicans saw clearly - is nationalizing the election, talking about Speaker Pelosi and President Obama was not as appealing to the public there as Mark Critz talking to them about their jobs." -- Nancy Pelosi on the GOP, May 20, 2010.

"This election is about them. This is a referendum on them. Making them lame ducks is good enough for me." -- Nancy Pelosi on the GOP, 60 Minutes, October 22, 2006.
