Steny Hoyer (D-Md), (L), at a news conference after the House Democratic Caucus Leadership elections on Capitol Hill, November 16, 2006. A week after winning back control of the U.S. Congress, Democrats in the House defied incoming speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday and bypassed a vocal Iraq war critic to elevate her moderate deputy to majority leader.

Norm, those photos of a dejected Jack Murtha behind Hoyer are classic! They bear a resemblance to this photo of Kerry being left out of the Senate "leadership walk". Hope you can make out the expression on Kerry's face! (I'm trying to find a better copy.)

Looks to me like a hopeful sign that at least some of the most stupid anti-war Dems are being sidelined.
