So Ford only got 29 votes?

Don't tell me - the 29 were the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, period. Yet another crack in their armor that we can exploit...

Actually I think it was the Blue Dog DemocRATs which gave him the votes but haven't heard for sure!

Wait. I thought there was some other woman (another "progressive") who got in the race at the last minute--so, I'm sure there's at least one vote for her...BTW, how many members of the Black Caucus are there?

Anyway, I would think the 29 who voted against Pelosi would be the more conservative members of the house, anyway.
