\"pelosi\"<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: According to The National Review Online<\/a>, an abortion compromise has failed!<\/p>\n

Original post<\/strong>: Why did the Democrats select a far-left liberal from San Francisco to be their leader in the House, when they knew that she’d be an disliked, national lightning rod?<\/p>\n

Because here’s the thing about Nancy Pelosi: she WILL NOT LOSE<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

There’s no way she’ll let herself come up short on healthcare, especially after her and her team expressed such confidence of victory tomorrow.<\/p>\n
