Murtha will try for the Majority Leader.

[Lochloosa]

He just said so on NPR.

On Edit: My bad

[onehandle]

1. He should. I'd back him. Perfect for war time. nt

2. Good! Steny "K Street" Hoyer was just on CNN saying he was seeking the job.

[independentpiney]

12. He gives me the creeps

I've only seen him a few times, so not that familiar with him. Jack Murtha would be great for the job imo.

3. That is part of the process. It in no way disses Pelosi

[Mass]

8. He is not running for speaker, but majority leader.

Against Hoyer and not Pelosi.

[hippiechick]

4. He's anti-choice, right ?

Then he doesn't speak for me. No thanks.

[MGD]

10. He won't even make a dent in Row V. Wade. Be realistic, I mean Bush couldn't even touch it

with a conservative/Republican HoR and Senate and Judiciary.

5. Dolp!

I thought the media already selected Pelosi?

[Mass]

9. See #6

[DaveinMD]

6. he's running

for Majority Leader, not Speaker.

[Mass]

7. Speaker or majority leader? Not the same thing.

For leader, I agree. No reason however to go against Pelosi.

[DaveinMD]

13. he's running for Majority Leader

I hope Steny Hoyer prevails.

[Kelvin Mace]

11. Good

The last person we need in the chair is Nancy "Impeachment is off the table" Pelosi.
