Is there any possibility of Nancy Pelosi getting her job back in the House???????

I have seen no reports of the possibility of Democrats winning back a majority. Any out there I have missed???? I fear that even if Dems retain the Senate and the Presidency, that progress will be stymied by the Republican Congress.

...we close the gap enough that Rs, concerned about getting reelected, defect so that some bills get through the House.

Democrats’ hopes to pick up 25 Congressional seats in the 2012 elections include three seats in California—one of which is the newly redrawn 52nd Congressional District (formerly the 50th district) currently held by Republican Brian Bilbray.

We'll be doing well to pick up several seats.... hopefully against the most extremist Rs. That would de-fang a lot of repuke obstructionism.
