And Google comes up empty on that phrase as well.

Care to offer a different quote or provide a cite for this bit of history?

Let's see-

Pelosi cautioned that the number of Democratic House victories could be higher or lower and said her greatest concern is over the integrity of the count -- from the reliability of electronic voting machines to her worries that Republicans will try to manipulate the outcome.

"That is the only variable in this," Pelosi said. "Will we have an honest count?''

"If indeed it turns out the way that people expect it to turn out, the American people will have spoken, and they will have rejected the course of action the president is on."

...and now, feel free to spin away my paraphrase cause that of course is what matters.

Dems win- rejection of the course the President has set us on.
Dems lose- was it an honest count?

It's a common refrain from Dems when they lose- this is not new this year, and won't be new in any other election they may lose.
