Nancy Pelosi was last night’s big loser
I think it’s worth noting that all the analysis leading into yesterday’s election between Brian Bilbray and Francine Busby for Duke Cunningham’s seat in San Diego said that the election would be a bell-weather for the congressional races around the country this Fall.
But I haven’t read any analysis today suggesting that Busby’s loss indicates that Nancy Pelosi’s strategy of defeating Republicans on the “culture of corruption” theme turned out to be an utter failure and is in fact a bell-weather of a failed strategy for future congressional Democratic elections.
Pelosi better come up with some policy proposals to run on if she wants to win seats in November.
