A positive review of the Democrat's legislative achievements, spotlighting Nancy Pelosi's role as effective deal-maker and lightning-rod for the detractors of her accomplishments in the House.

This is a well written piece and well reasoned if you buy that statesmanship and doing the right thing is more important than winning elections.

Well said! This thoughtfully written opinion piece offers a much-needed alternative viewpoint of the mid-term election results which is supported well by links to outside sources.

An interesting viewpoint, but not entirely convincing.

This article was cut and dry, to the point, and seemed balanced. The subject was interesting and insightful - the author argues that despite "losing the battle," (losing seats in Congress), Democrats "won the war" because they were able to pass key healthcare legislation.
