Pelosi Downplays Dems’ Big Loss: You’re Forgetting We Went up So High in ‘06 and ‘08

DICKERSON: "Here's my question, though, Democrats since 2008, the numbers are ghastly for Democrats. Democrats are down 10 percent, in the House down 19.3 percent and in governors 35 percent. The Democrats are getting clobbered at every level over multiple elections. That seems like a real crisis for the party?" 
PELOSI: "You're forgetting that we went up so high in 2006 and 2008, and let me just put that in perspective. When president Clinton was elected, Republicans came in big in the next election. When President Bush was president, we came in big in the next election. When President Obama became president, the Republicans came in big in the next election."
