NANCY PELOSI spearheaded the Democratic takeover of the US House of Representatives on Tuesday, positioning herself to become the first woman to lead the chamber — and President George W Bush’s worst political nightmare.

House Democratic leader since 2003, the California liberal framed the elections as a referendum on Bush, his unpopular Iraq war and the scandal-rocked, Republican-led House.

“Today the American people voted for change and they voted for Democrats to take our country in a new direction,” Ms Pelosi told a victory rally. “That’s exactly what we intend to do.

“Mr President, we need a new direction in Iraq,” Ms Pelosi said. “Let us work together to find a solution.”
