Congress Returns | C-SPAN. Pharmer watched Pelosi’s smile turn into a grimace, as she listened to 260 members of congress voting against her: 241 for Boehner, 173 Pelosi, with 19 voting for others, or present.
Those 19 congressmen were all Democrats. This amount of party defection from the “chosen” Pelosi marks the worst showing of such a contender in since 1923.
One interesting sign of Pelosi’s disconnect was her exit speech, mentioning all of her “accomplishments” for which the voters had removed her party from power. Was she making sure we don’t forget, or rubbing our faces in it?
