    By any measure... WORST SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPS EVER!

    Pelosi and House Dems hit the mother lode; Obama down, Reid up, Boehner in free fall

    Let's talk some politics. As a depressing and despicable week comes to a close, the scoreboard for the week is clear. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (California) and House Democrats have hit the jackpot: They look strong, principled, of capable of regaining control. Pelosi looks like a leader and stateswoman, while House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) looks inept, disingenuous and weak after the worst seven days of any Speaker in many years.

    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) looks like a fighter, and if Republicans take the big blame for the fiasco, which seems overwhelmingly likely, Senate Democrats come out of the mess looking stronger.

    President Obama has the right view and the upper hand, but a Gallup poll closed the week with the president upside down with 41 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval. The key point for Obama is that his major political interest, by far, would be for Democrats to recapture the House in 2014, which looks more likely today than it did a week ago.

    Pelosi looks strong, solid as a rock and competent. House Democrats look principled, competent and focused. The past of Speaker Pelosi looks far better to voters than the present of Speaker Boehner. And there are more than enough — far more than enough — Republican seats in play to bring House control back to the Democrats again. It will not be easy, but it can be done. The odds grow with every Republican-induced government shutdown and, heaven forbid, a Republican-induced default and economic crash.

    Stay tuned: While the House GOP "Keystone Cops" performance continues, and the chance of a default and market crash grows, yours truly predicts there may well be a GOP donors strike. GOP donors would refuse to give Republicans money, while fundraising for House and Senate Democrats gets better with every House Banana Republican blunder.
