Confused Elderly Woman Unsure About Which Party Won Election

Nancy Pelosi thinks the Democrats actually won.

When asked about her vow to win 25 seats back from the Republicans, the elderly lady who has her good moments and her bad moments becomes confused and confuses "winning 25 seats back" with "winning half of the 25 seats in play," almost all of which were Democratic seats.

Well, we did have 25 seats in play and we’ve won 13 or 14 of them. We’ve won a majority of those seats. We lost seven freshmen and we lost three -- [Tim] Bishop, [Nick] Rahall and [John] Barrow. Fabulous people who won in tough districts over and over again. But remember what I said then, it's like the Olympics, it's a little bit on one side, it'll be a fraction of a second, fraction of an inch. That’s how it came down. Of that 25, I think it's 14 of them that we have won. There's one that it's a loss for us, but it wasn't an incumbent. It was Bruce Braley's seat. So that's another seat. But it wasn't an incumbent, it was just that he didn’t win his own district. But in terms of people who are not coming back, it's nine, no 10. It's 10. It’s the three and then seven. Now, we’ll see what happens. They won 10, we won about 14 of them. . . . Of course, no one likes to see their colleagues leave and you don't want to lose, but of those 25 races, we won 14 and lost 10.

The confused elderly woman was reportedly walking aimlessly up and down the street and also being reelected as leader of the House Democrats.
