Pelosi/Van Hollen predicting the House will hold.

[Perky]

Nancy Pelosi and Chris Van Hollen are stating flat out that Democrats will hold onto the House. "We're on pace to maintain the majority," Pelosi just told reporters. "Millions of Americans are proving the Washington pundits wrong," Van Hollen said.

[stopbush]

Good! That means that they are not going to roll over, no matter what the MSM says.

[proud patriot]

1. Fingercrossed Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

[Whisp]

17. and toes and eyes.

oh I so hope Pelosi is right and Blitzer and the rest vomit from too much crow eating.

despicable!

[DrToast]

2. This is interesting.

It's one thing to say this leading up to the election, but to keep saying it as the election is almost over is another thing.

I hope they're right.

[Chulanowa]

3. They are

Sadly some people have just been too busy dooming and glooming to notice :)

[abelenkpe]

4. hope they are right....

I've been feeling that way but y'know the media has been screaming otherwise

[BootinUp]

5. Damn it, they are gonna make us sweat this thing out.

:sarcasm:

[Blue Owl]

6. GODDAMN RIGHT WE ARE

The ONLY way the GOP wins is by LYING, CHEATING, and STEALING.

GO Democrats -- don't let the liars and their mouthpieces get you down for ONE FUCKING SECOND!

[Parker CA]

7. Hell YEAH!! That's what I'm talking about!! GO DEMS!!! Blow that meme out of the water!!

[AtomicKitten]

8. That will cause some exploding heads across the country (which I totally support). nt

[Aramchek]

9. despite what the Media has told us, the voting populace hasn't changed that much since 2006 or 2008

In fact, with growth in the Youth vote and a swing to the Democratic Party in the Hispanic community,
we may be in even better shape.

Remember, nearly every poll has Democrats up by several points or more among Registered Voters.
They just tend to have a very warped view of who is likely to vote this year.

[Drunken Irishman]

10. Of course they're going to say that...

They're not going to say they stand no chance of winning.

[Top Cat]

11. HELL YEAH!!!!

[LatteLibertine]

12. I've done my part Speaker Pelosi

and voted today as well. I'm hoping for the best too.

[MyshkinCommaPrince]

13. Oh, I hope it happens this way.

Come on, American voting public. Restore my faith in the inherent goodness of humanity. Reject the stupid!

[book_worm]

14. Yet the media is still predicting we will lose--why don't they just wait until all the polls close?

[impik]

15. It would be the world's biggest injustice if this lady

Will lose her speaker position.

GOTV!

[Phx_Dem]

19. Seriously!

I hope they're speaking from a position of knowledge, based on exit polls, and not optimism.

Cross fingers!!

[young but wise]

20. Yes it will.

[vaberella]

16. As Nancy Pelosi's Numero UNO fan...I concur! n/t

[AspenRose]

18. I sure hope you're right, Madame Speaker.

I hope you're right.

As it is, the early exit polls coming in feel like carrot-dangling, or Lucy with the football.

[Peacetrain]

21. With the large numbers being reported at polls just here on DU.. it looks

much better..because a higher turnout is usually a better thing for Democrats.. There are more of us registered than there are of them

[Meshuga]

22. Just came home from voting for Van Hollen...

And I hope he is right. :-)

[jenmito]

23. Ed Rendell said on Hardball that more Black voters voted by 4pm in PA than the entire

day/night in '06!

[Kdillard]

24. I would be happy if they are provem right.

[bluesmail]

25. I wonder if this has to do with Pelosi speaking tonight about election results?

I can't bear any more-anymore.
