2009's political losers

2009 political losers
A recent Gallup poll shows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congressional Republicans to be big losers for 2009. CNN embelished:
According to the new poll, 50 percent of those surveyed thought Pelosi is among the "losers" of the year while 52 percent said the same for Republicans in Congress. Conversely, only 39 percent think Pelosi is a "winner" while 38 percent gave positive marks to GOP members of congress.

As for other political losers of the year, 61 percent identified South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson - who earned fame after his "You Lie!" outburst at President Obama - and 63 percent named South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, whose exploits with an Argentinean woman were well documented last summer.

I'm honestly shocked to know there were winners. There was health care reform and high unemployment but the only things that got done were the bailouts.

I guess that makes us all the losers.
