Despite the major losses the Democrats encountered in the congressional elections earlier this month, they chose to keep Nancy Pelosi as their leader. Some argue that the party needs a new face due to the loss of 60 House seats, but she remains popular among many liberals who head the party's House caucus. Democrats of the House were defending Pelosi saying that the reasons for the party's failures were due to "bad economy and high unemployment." House representative Tim Ryan said that after the substantial loss, the Democrats have got to get their message right, "There's a lot of people that just think we need to take our time and reflect about the direction we're going in, what issues we're going to focus on, what could we have done better....It's important that the next step that we take is very well thought out."
