From a post on a Dem site about our lone Rep who is a Dem from OK:

Boren, 'Blue Dogs' Consider Speaker Choice


In it, Boren and his coalition of 'Conservative House Democrats' called "Blue Dogs" plans to "discuss the House Leadership situation".

Boren says, "I'm not going to say that I'm going to vote for her", Boren said in an interview.

He said the conservative 'blue dog' coalition has 37 members and expects to add another 10..... and that thier conservative coalition may become the most powerful voting bloc of Democratic Votes.

In his first term, Boren has opposed his party more often than any other member of the House.

He said he hopes Pelosi's public comments about working with the GOP are sincere.

"Her leadership style has been one of working with the other side, and I hope she does", Boren said.


Other Dems have complained that it was the Republicans who were not willing ot reach out and that they preferred instead to muscle thier agenda through while they controlled the house.
