This article on the CNN website covers a huge issue in the upcoming mid-term elections, the democrat's chances. But it seems like a decision the democrats made a long time ago is coming back to ruin their chances of keeping control of the house. In picking Nancy Pelosi as house speaker the democrats are looking back on the decisio in regret now seeing how republicans can use it as firepower. Billboards and ads everywhere use Pelosi's face as the reasoning that democrats should not be in control. With her many contraversial mistakes, speeches and decisions the democrats could be looking at their achilles heel, and it's a cut from the inside.
