Looks like there's going to be a cat fight.

I hope it works. We need Ms. Pelosi to win, thus securing victory in the 2004 elections.

Good. The more they fight amongst themselves, the more divisive they will become. The Democrats are imploding. Pretty soon all that will be left will be the black hole.
And Hillary's pantsuit.

Hell, Frost ought to get back in. There is no way the next Minority Leader is going to be anything other than a minority (black, female, gay, whatever): White males need not apply.
Actually, isn't that pretty much the rule for DemocRatic Party membership nowadays?

This just illustrates that the "thinking" Dems are in the minority as Pelosi has the votes needed already. It's these minority Dems that realize if a radicl Leftist like Pelosi gets elected the party will lose support from moderates such as the soccer moms.

I've had a look at Kaptur's ratings by various interest groups as listed at Project Vote Smart. While she is of course a liberal, she is less liberal than Pelosi.
For those interested, have a look at:
http://www.vote-smart.org/index.phtml
Enter the name Kaptur, then go to Interest Groups.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Kaptur would be a much better choice for the Dems. Coming from a very Republican heartland state, she has a far more moderate constituency than Pelosi. She would not be part of a socalist echo chamber of California extremists. If she went too liberal as Minority Leader, she would be in danger of losing her own House seat. She is also from a middle class background and not a rich, limousine liberal like Pelosi. She is Catholic as well (although pro-abort, but not screamingly so as is Pelosi.)
To: Dems_R_Losers
Not positive, but I believe Kaptur is also member of Progressive Caucus. She'll likely take votes from Pelosi resulting in win for Ford.

To: canadiancapitalist
Correct, Kaptur is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, an arm of the Democratic Socialists. See link below. If she represents the "moderate" wing of the Democrat party, they are in big trouble!

I agree that Pelosi would be a bad choice for the Dems, but I am cautiously optimistic. I remember in 1998 that many of my conservative Republican friends were going to vote for Gray Davis in the open primary because they thought he was the weakest candidate. Nothing more needs to be said.

'socialist echo chamber' ... that's great.
