Oh shux darn...

Murtha was voted down by a sizeable lead. I am not sure whether to rejoice because Nancy Pelosi's first task of organizing her party leaders handed her an embarrassing loss or be disappointed at not having Murtha as a leader.

Murtha would have been great to have. He would have been a nightmare for the party with his tireless bumbling idiot statements and his inability to get anything done would help the US citizens.

Instead, we get Stanley Hoyeur (sic?) who actually has much support even from republicans and has been in the game for 25 years.

So close.....

LMBO!!!!!! I just wish he leave the state I live in!

LOL. I got a good laugh out of that when I heard about it on the news New. The wife looked at me and said what has the woman done to you that you are laughing at her. I really cannot talk politics with the wife, she does not seem to understand my enthusiasm and frustrations.

Now pelosi will have to deal with her person next in line of power who she straight up lied to, serves her right.

Yeah, Pelosi and Steny Hoyer don't like each other one bit. Should make for some interesting spectacles over the next two years.

[Newarcher]

I really wish that Murtha would have gotten in....it just shows a profound lack of discretion and judgement in that they have the momentum and probably can coast to victory in 2008 if they just act normal.

I wish Murtha would have won.

Think you are wrong there about them coasting to victory New. Like Texan said here, don't think they like each other much at all, should make it kind of interesting in seeing how well they can get done what they say they intend to get done.

[Newarcher]

I think that any infighting will be quited by Clinton early on.

Murtha would have gotten along with Nancy so there would have been no conflict but he would have been a lightningrod for voters. It would be a Kerryism almost every day from that guy.

I look forward to them getting nothing done. If they are smart, they will save all tax cuts for after 2008 and if Clinton is elected, look out.

That wasn't too clear New. Did you mean that they should wait until after 2008 before they start raising taxes? You and I both know that a Democrat controlled Congress will never pass tax cuts, only tax increases!

Think Hillary in looking out for herself will not try to be a moderator New. Last thing she wants is to have anyone from her own party with ill feeling towards her. I kind of see her keeping a bit of a low profile if that is really possible for the next 2 years.

Good catch, TEXAN, that'd be TAX INCREASES. If the dems start making a negative impact on people, it will harm Hittlary. Won't happen.

I anticipate that Nancy Pelosi will march to the beat of Hittlary's whip or else suffer a fate of committing suicide in a SF park!

So you think Pelosi will be another Hillary puppet New. You may be right about that, but they need to be careful over the next two years with what they do as many voters opinions might be swayed by what Pelosi does.
