Dingell: ‘I Respectfully Disagree’ that Pelosi’s Time Has Come and Gone

‘I have been around — I am seasoned’

RUSH EXCERPT:
DINGELL: "No. I’m going to tell you point blank, and I’ll respectfully disagree with her, because I love Kathleen. We were in the same class. I never thought we were going to win any of these four seats. I have been around. I am seasoned. These people were selected to go in the cabinet because they were in safe, Republican seats. Two or three months ago, I would never have bet we came as come as we did in those. The Cook Report’s done a very independent analysis of this and it says we’ve outperformed in all four of these seats by 8 percent. And if we were to continue in those numbers, the Republicans should be worried we could win 80 seats next November. Now that’s not going to happen, we all know that, because we’re running against incumbents. But if you’d get pragmatic, we always attack the leader. I don’t care who it is. As I say to people, I remember when we were attacking Tip O’Neill. I was very young, but I remember it. We love to attack our leaders, either party."
