Pelosi makes first public remarks
since husband's assault
SAN FRANSISCO : House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in her
first public appearance since the
brutal attack on her husband,
rallied grassroots activists
Friday, saying the midterm
elections for control of Congress
are a fight for democracy and
"very winnable."
"People say to me, 'What can I
do to make you feel better?' I
say: 'Vote!'" Pelosi told those on
the call.
"I believe that this race is very
winnable," Pelosi said.
Her voice cracked at times as
she said of her husband's
recovery, "It's going to be a long
haul."
Pelosi thanked those on a
video call for the outpouring of
support for Paul Pelosi, 82, who
suffered a fractured skull and
other injuries after an intruder
broke into their San Francisco
home late last week and
bludgeoned him with a
hammer in what authorities say
was an intentional and political
attack.
The Democratic leader spoke
in the early morning from
California, where her husband
was released from the hospital
late Thursday, her voice
breaking throughout the
lengthy but upbeat address.
"What we are doing is not
only to win an election, but this
is to strengthen our
democracy," Pelosi said. "There
is no question that our
democracy is on the ballot."
The speaker's comments
come as Democrats are facing a
stiff fight for control of Congress
in the midterm elections
Tuesday, as energized
Republicans are working to flip
the House and Senate and end
Democratic hold on
Washington.
David DePape, 42, is being
held without bail on state
charges of attempted murder,
burglary and elder abuse.

Powerball prize up to
$1.5 billion, 3rd-largest
ever in US
DES MOINES : The bad news
is that no one won
Wednesday night's huge $1.2
billion Powerball jackpot.
The good news is that
means the prize has grown
even larger to $1.5 billion
ahead of the next drawing
Saturday night. That is the
third-largest lottery prize in
U.S. history.
The numbers drawn
Wednesday night were: 2, 11,
22, 35, 60 and the red
powerball 23.
No one has won the top
Powerball prize since Aug. 3,
making for 39 consecutive
drawings without anyone
matching all six numbers.
What's behind three
months of lottery futility? It's
simple math.
