Pelosi Backs Murtha for Majority Leader
Political Wire ^ | November 12, 2006 | Taegan Goddard

Posted on 11/12/2006 4:44:13 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), "in line to become Speaker in January, is throwing her support to Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) in the race for Majority Leader, a move that will be an early test of her influence and will weigh heavily on Murtha's contest with Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) for the post," Roll Call reports.

"Pelosi, in a letter distributed Sunday to newly elected House Democrats, wrote that Murtha's outspoken opposition to the war in Iraq helped change the electoral campaign for the House this fall."

The Hill: "Her endorsement has the potential to turn the race, especially if she chooses to campaign on Murtha’s behalf. Pelosi’s decision to back Murtha is the most significant move she has made since Democrats scored a historic victory on Election Day."

I'd read that Pelosi and Hoyer didn't get along, but this is ridiculous.

Basically Murtha earned this position, Grandma Nancy is just giving him a cookie

It's going to get a lot worse better it gets better.
