There's this is today's Los Angeles Times but no mention of the CREW statement.

Power struggles unravel Democrats' unity

Think CREW is surprised that their press release about Murtha was ignored?

This is interesting. The story made the Pinko/Commie Nation.

Pelosi Backs Murtha for No. 2: Iraq over Ethics?

Also, I fouled up the LA Times link above. Here it is again: Power struggles unravel Democrats' unity

The WashingtonPost is also running an article about this. Here's the link to the FR thread:

This may be a good time to bring back an article from a year ago. It detailed why Murtha was never considered for a leadership position before now.

HERE'S THE POSTER GIRL!!

"I also don't understand why somebody else in the party is not challenging her for the position of Speaker of the House"

I don't get that either - especially since there are quite a few that are supposed to be 'Blue Dog' or 'moderate' Dims.

I read yesterday (article in link below) that some of the WA state delegation are supporting Hoyer and not Murtha. Bet she'll whip those guys and others who don't want to support Murtha in line soon!

The media annointed her. Now the dems seem stuck with her. What to do what to do what to do.

Looks like buyer's remorse is setting in all over the place on lots of counts.

"Looks like buyer's remorse is setting in all over the place on lots of counts."

It does, doesn't it. Not the least of which is from the moderate independents and Pubbies that decided to stay home or vote for the Dims or Libertarian to 'show the GOP congresscritters a lesson'.

She may in fact be the best thing that could happen for Pubbies. As I've said before, after listening to her left-wing wacko screeching for 2 years, folks may decide they no longer want left-wing wackos in congress and/or a screeching Hitlery for Pres.
