Nancy Pelosi faces new challenge from Rep. Barbara Lee and Congressional Black Caucus
SFGate: Politics Blog ^ | 11/16/10 | Carolyn Lochhead, Chronicle Washington Bureau

The Congressional Black Caucus is refusing to endorse House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as minority leader, demanding that members get solid evidence that Rep. James Clyburn, the highest ranking African American in the Democratic leadership, will be more than a titular member of the new order.

Pelosi faces a secret-ballot vote tomorrow as she stands for election as House minority leader. She is expected to win with broad support from liberals, despite open rebellion among conservative Blue Dog Democrats and grumbling from some more liberal members who have questioned the rush to reinstall Pelosi after this month's landslide losses.

Clyburn had challenged moderate Maryland Democrat Steny Hoyer for the number two post, setting off a struggle just beneath Pelosi. Lee had backed Clyburn as Pelosi attempted to broker a truce by creating a new post, "assistant leader" for Clyburn, who had been whip.

Looks like the “liberals” (marxists) are going to hijack the Democrat party, whether the party wants it or not.

Good. I want Maxine Waters ugly mug in a leadership position so the American people can see that these clowns are nuttier than squirrel turds.

Note to Democrats in Congress: Beware of vote fraud.

Oh, my mistake - Democrats are generally supportive of and responsible for massive vote fraud. Never mind...

How can the leadership of the House dem NOT be liberal? That’s the vast majority of who remains, and they hate they have utter contempt for the blue dogs (a contempt that was earned, after most blue dogs turned into lap dogs). Whether they like to show America or not, radical leftists is WHO THEY ARE.

More than a titular member . . . . . ? I think the CBC is grossly inderestimating the roll and value of The PCC (Pelosi's Chief Chauffeur).

Great. I love to watch two witches in a fight.

In one corner, The Silicone Queen, Nancy “San Francisco” Pelosi. In the other, another racialist fanatic.

Hope they mutually annihilate each other like matter and anti-matter.

That's right, they are trying to keep the black man down.... shame on the Democrat Party...

Driving Miss Nancy is telling the CBC and Cyburn to shut up and go shine her shoes.

That's right CBC, don't let them keep the brotha down...
