Nancy Pelosi off in space...maybe she's better of there for now

From Politico:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Edit HTMLDemocratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen are stating flat out that Democrats will hold onto the House, despite predictions of a GOP wipeout.

"We're on pace to maintain the majority in the House of Representatives," Pelosi just told reporters.

"Millions of Americans are proving the Washington pundits wrong," Van Hollen said.

Democratic operatives are claiming their base is turning out to vote in heavy numbers, especially among African-Americans.
It's fine to predict victory months again of the vote, or when the poll is close. But when it's election day and you know you're going to get wiped out, you express objective confidence in your candidates, and encourage folks to come out and vote. You know, non-partisan pleasantries.

Of course Ms. Pelosi has been saying this stuff since at least as far back as May. But you'd think she'd drop the act on the last official day that she's House leader.
