WASHINGTON The race to be the No. 2 House Democratic leader turned nasty Tuesday, with challenger Rep. John Murtha accusing opponents of "swift-boat style attacks" that hark back to his days being investigated in the FBI's 1980 Abscam sting.
Murtha won endorsement Monday from Nancy Pelosi, who is widely expected to be the House speaker. But Murtha is opposed by some liberals who say they are not happy with the Pennsylvania lawmaker's pro-gun and anti-abortion record. Others say Pelosi took a wrong turn in backing Murtha over her current deputy Rep. Steny Hoyer because Murtha's record is marred by ethics questions of the type Pelosi pledged to clean up in Congress.

If he does it is one of convenience

Exactly--Pelosi as Speaker would be almost as good as Hillary being Senate Majority Leader. Either one would stir up the base, not because they're female, but because of their far-left agendas. Hard to believe that Hillary was once a "Goldwater Girl" isn't it?

I can't wait for the first internecine Dem throw down in the Senate between James Webb and ??? Why do I have the feeling that Webb is going to crank up his own version of the Sunni Triangle in Senate?

The joke is on all of us and especially the denwit democrats.
Nancy Pelosi knows full well Murtha will NOT be elected majority leader.
However, she did this to protect herself. Instead of a Pelosi/Hoyer Fight for Speakership, all the talk now is about Murtha/Hoyer fight for majority leader.

Murtha should be swinging from a noose, not running for leadership positions in the guvmint!
