Pelosi To Watch Election Results In Washington

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will be on Capitol Hill tonight when polling results began to trickle out.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) will also be on hand for the DCCC’s watch party Tuesday evening. With Republicans expected to gain a significant number of seats in the lower chamber, it could be a long night for Pelosi, Van Hollen and company.

At least Pelosi has baseball to cheer her up. Her San Francisco Giants clinched a title last night, defeating the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the World Series by a score of 3-1.

Renowned Democratic strategist James Carville warned supporters today that Republicans will govern in an “extreme” fashion should they regain the majority in Congress.

Carville pleaded with donors to give to House Democrats who are in danger of getting blown-out on Election Day.

“After this election is over, what will you tell your kids and your grandkids that you did to keep Sarah Palin’s favorite extremists out of Congress?”

The one-time top adviser to former President Bill Clinton said that while persistent, the bulk of conservative Republicans gunning for office this year are “nut cases.”

Strickland "One Of The Best," Says Former President

If you ask former President Bill Clinton, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland (D) is at the top of the class as far as state leaders go.

“He’s clearly one of America’s best governors,” Clinton said in a new fundraising memo out today. “I can honestly say that, both as a human being and as an effective leader, Ted’s right up there with the best of them.”

Clinton will be in Canton this weekend to campaign for Strickland, who is in a tight race against Republican opponent John Kasich. The trip will be Clinton’s third since this summer on Strickland’s behalf.

On Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden will campaign for Strickland in Toledo.
