Pelosi: "... we have the votes to win the House"

Saw this in another diary, and it surely seemed important enough to note. DKos member Tablas commented that “Nancy Pelosi on CNN: Hakeem Jeffries will be the next SOTH...she doesn’t know what the margins will be but they have the seats. Maybe that’s why Kirk is freakin’ out….among other things...”

Here’s a Xitter post from Ryan Struyk at CNN confirming Pelosi’s comments:

PELOSI: "Hakeem Jeffries will be the speaker of the House. I don't know what the margin will be, but I know that we have the votes to win the House."

[For those without the Xitter, the text reads: “PELOSI: "Hakeem Jeffries will be the speaker of the House. I don't know what the margin will be, but I know that we have the votes to win the House."]

We ALL know here that when Nancy Pelosi counts votes, you better pay attention! 

It seems really early to start celebrating, but my gawd … if Pelosi is sure enough based on what she knows about the House contests, I’m putting the Jägermeister on ice. ;-P

UPDATE:

Give the handsome black dude the gavel, you little weirdo. 

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
