Charlie Rose's Wednesday, October 20, 2010 conversation with Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives

CHARLIE ROSE: Nancy Pelosi is here. She is the speaker of the House
of Representatives. The Democrats face an uphill battle in the upcoming
midterm elections. The struggling economy continues to be one of the more
important issues for voters and has made 2010 a very tough time.

Republicans, increasingly confident that they can take back the House,
which would imperil Speaker Pelosi’s position. Democrats are cautiously
optimistic they can retain control of the Senate but there are very close
races in very interesting places. GOP candidates are also ahead in the
gubernatorial races. Several factors, including the independent vote,
turnout, and money will shape the outcome.

The results could profoundly impact the legislative agenda and
political map of the country. I’m pleased to have Nancy Pelosi back at
this table. Welcome.
