QUOTE OF THE DAY - AT 1:19 P.M. ET:  From, natch, Nancy Pelosi, who was taught by daddy to put a good face on everything, so the neighbors would never know.  She assesses last night's elections:

"From our perspective we won last night," Pelosi told reporters during a Wednesday morning photo opportunity. "We had one race that we were engaged in, it was in northern New York, it was a race where a Republican has held the seat since the Civil War and we won that seat, so from our standpoint, no, a candidate was victorious who supports health care reform, and his remarks last night said this was a victory for health care reform and other initiatives for the American people."

COMMENT:  It is rumored that Speaker Pelosi is reincarnated from a Japanese admiral who told the Emperor, "Hey, if we hit Pearl Harbor, we got it licked."
