4 More Stories That Show Just How Disastrous This Week Was For Nancy Pelosi and Democrats (And It’s Only Thursday)

It’s only Thursday and national Democrats (namely the DCCC) are having a week that’s nothing short of a disaster.

Let’s go to the videotape:

• It looks like Democrats in California may botch one of their best pickup opportunities over a bitter primary…yet again.
• A recruit they touted in a competitive seat dropped out after just 11 days on the campaign trail.
• Former PA Governor Ed Rendell spurned the DCCC’s endorsed candidate in a competitive district and backed his challenger.
• And now they’re stuck trying to clean up the mess out in Michigan after John Conyers failed to qualify for the ballot.

But then again, don’t take my word for it…

Roll Call: “The unsightly fortunes…could have been avoided had the DCCC orchestrated — or at least insisted on — some minimal political and organizational due diligence.”

Ouch.
