Speaker Pelosi
I suspect that there are going to be a lot of committee positions, offices, budgets and other perqs that will be re-assigned after this:
Moments after electing Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as Speaker of the House, Democrats chose Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) as their new House majority leader, the No. 2 leadership post, over Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), the AP reports.

The final vote, 149 to 86, wasn't even close.
I guess this proves that Democrats don't have the party discipline that Republicans have .... for good and bad.

Maybe they recognize that putting someone who is so invested in pork in charge would look like the Republican thing to do.

I'm wondering if Pelosi made a promise some time ago to Murtha, when he came out for redeployment, that she would support him. I'm wondering if she knew all along that Murtha would lose, but was giving him a hat tip, for a variety of reasons.
