Democrats voted today to elect Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) as the House Majority Leader, which puts Speaker-elect Pelosi at a 0-1 record, so far. Of course, she's not even officially the Speaker yet.

As you're likely aware of, Pelosi's candidate of choice was Rep. Jack "Redeploy to Okinawa" Murtha (D-PA). Mr. Murtha was defeaded by a vote of 149-86...not exactly a close call.

It's amazing how Nancy Pelosi's first WORDS were all about "working together" with the President, and "having the most ethical Congress in history"...but when push came to shove, her very first action as Speaker-elect was to nominate the man who represents the FAR LEFT point of view of the Democrat party.

Let's just say this: whether I sound like a whiny conservative or not - it's a nice defeat to relish in. :) Starting down minus 1, Nancy Pelosi will enter the House in typical liberal form: a victim of her own stupidity.
