BREAKING NEWS:
Conservatives with Attitude! insiders are informing us that Congressman John Murtha will DROP OUT of the running for the number 2 spot in the House as Majority Leader.
Even if he does stay in the race, he will fall short by a few votes.
This will serve as a big blow to Nancy Pelosi.

Now that they are in power as a result of garnering the entire malcontent vote, don't be surprised if more Poster Boys get dumped.

I like to look on the bright side of things. This is the first sign of democrat disunity. Keep it up, boys and girls!

If this is true, I'm glad that he ran, and that Pelosi endorsed him. It let the country know where they both come from. The woman is as big a fool as Murtha, they both believe their own press reports.

Almost sounds like they got taken by the Scrappleface entry about Murtha "redeploying" because of the "civil war" in the party.

Pelosi Splits Democrats With Push For Murtha - Speaker-to-Be Accused Of Strong-Arm Tactics
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/15/AR2006111501521_pf.html
"Pelosi's aggressive intervention on behalf of Murtha has baffled and angered many Democrats, who think she has unnecessarily put her reputation on the line out of misplaced loyalty to a friend and because of a long-standing feud with Hoyer, the minority whip. Pelosi has pushed Murtha's candidacy at social events, in private meetings and with incoming freshman Democrats; they have been called to her office to discuss committee assignments, only to hear first that she needs Murtha in order to be an effective leader."

Chewed up and spit out. These guys are a bunch of cannibals. Maybe Murtha and Lieberman can start a support group?

John Murtha has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.
