BREAKING NEWS:
Conservatives with Attitude! insiders are informing us that Congressman John Murtha will DROP OUT of the running for the number 2 spot in the House as Majority Leader.
Even if he does stay in the race, he will fall short by a few votes.
This will serve as a big blow to Nancy Pelosi.

He declined the $50k before he took it.
Now that they are in power as a result of garnering the entire malcontent vote, don't be surprised if more Poster Boys get dumped.
"...is this good news or bad news for us?"
Yes.
Steny Hoyer is no peach.
What's the source for that information?
Hiya Justa, thanks for the ping. It looks like this report is uncomfirmed.
> Not really [a big blow to Pelosi]. She was only going through the motions.
I like to look on the bright side of things. This is the first sign of democrat disunity. Keep it up, boys and girls!
If this is true, I'm glad that he ran, and that Pelosi endorsed him. It let the country know where they both come from. The woman is as big a fool as Murtha, they both believe their own press reports.
Murtha has decided to take his own advice and redeploy.
Almost sounds like they got taken by the Scrappleface entry about Murtha "redeploying" because of the "civil war" in the party.
Run, John, Run!

Pelosi Splits Democrats With Push For Murtha - Speaker-to-Be Accused Of Strong-Arm Tactics
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/15/AR2006111501521_pf.html
"Pelosi's aggressive intervention on behalf of Murtha has baffled and angered many Democrats, who think she has unnecessarily put her reputation on the line out of misplaced loyalty to a friend and because of a long-standing feud with Hoyer, the minority whip. Pelosi has pushed Murtha's candidacy at social events, in private meetings and with incoming freshman Democrats; they have been called to her office to discuss committee assignments, only to hear first that she needs Murtha in order to be an effective leader."
Chewed up and spit out. These guys are a bunch of cannibals. Maybe Murtha and Lieberman can start a support group?
This may affect the Bayview Hunters Point Shipyard agreement.

John Murtha has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.
Even Chris would have to comment about how Murtha was flat wrong. I saw the interview too.
