Here we go.. I knew this will happen. There will be struggle over power and decision and Obama hasn't been sworn into office.
CNN) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday called on President-elect Barack Obama to govern from the middle, as her party sat poised to gain its widest House majority in 15 years.
According to projections, Democrats in the House were on track Wednesday to increase their majority by at least 18 seats, a margin that would give Obama a formidable tool to push his legislative agenda after his January 20 inauguration.
Democrats took at least 22 seats from Republicans in Tuesday's election, with the GOP taking four seats from the Democrats, according to CNN projections.
With winners yet to be called for eight of the House's 435 seats, Democrats were projected to win 254 seats, with Republicans having 173.
"I don't know what the final number will be," Pelosi said during a Wednesday afternoon news conference on Capitol Hill. "But it will be well over 250. It's a signal of the change that the American people want."
Pelosi, D-California, said she hoped Obama would "bring people together to reach consensus" on issues that concern Americans. "A new president must govern from the middle," she said.

Get the duct tape out and shut her up! LOL It's too bad Ms "Impeachment's off the table" is still a "public servant"
If she had half a brain she would impeach Bush in Dec-leaving no room for the war criminals to be pardoned.
President Elect can govern without her advice -he already got his "mandate" from We the People...
Pelosi is get a big surprise when she finds out the old way of doing business is gone. Pelosi knows how to use backdoor deals but President Obama will open those back room doors and Americans will see just what Pelosi, Reid, Feinstein and Leahy are up to. It worked with GW as he gave this group kick backs but Obama/Biden will expose this conduct.
Pelosi needs to shut up or run for the job in 2012.
