Nancy Pelosi Steps Up: Romney's 'Not Going to be President'

1/17/12

___ The House’s top Democrat repeatedly jabbed at the former Massachusetts governor during an hour-long interview hosted by POLITICO and taunted the GOP for a slate of presidential contenders that she said was “not exactly what you would call the first string of the Republican Party.”

“If the far right thought that Romney could win, they might be more enthusiastic about him,” Pelosi told POLITICO’s Mike Allen during Tuesday’s Playbook Breakfast. “But they question what he stands for and they don’t think he’s going to win. So what’s the sell? I’m not sure he knows what he stands for, and that makes it harder too.”

“I don’t know who knows him,” she added of Romney. “Does he know him?”

When asked about Romney’s vow to veto the DREAM Act if he were president, Pelosi said that showed he lacked an “understanding” of policies that would not only help young illegal immigrants but bolster the United States’s competitiveness in a global economy.

“He’s not going to be president,” Pelosi said. “But I think it’s indicative of a hard line that doesn’t seem consistent with who he was as governor.”

4. Nancy was the best speaker ever. Ms. Magazine did a cover story on her.

It was excellent.

Love how she tells it like it is!

5. I'd have more faith in Pelosi's prediction

if the Democrats had ever bothered to look into election fraud when they were in charge. As it is, we're still left just trusting that the machines will count the votes correctly.

7. Part of me is really hoping that Stephen Colbert will be the nominee.

But I know that's not realistic.
