House Democrats elected Nancy Pelosi to remain as their leader Wednesday despite massive party losses in this month's congressional elections that prompted some lawmakers to call for new leadership.
Pelosi, the nation's first female House speaker, will become minority leader when Republicans assume the majority in the new Congress in January.
She defeated moderate Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina, 150-43, in secret balloting in a lengthy closed-door gathering of House Democrats in the Capitol.

I’m sure one of her first orders of business will be to try and pass a resolution that the House Minority Leader gets a private jet.
Which will no doubt pass, and Stenny will have a good time until January 10th - when the Republican House gets Nancy and Stenny their own Southwest Rapid Rewards Number.
Idiots.
LOL!
Good for them!
May she be every bit as effective as minority leader in alienating the people as she was as majority leader.
You beat me to the punch!
She is the face of the Dems. The GOP scored a victory on this vote.
I expect 2011 to be a very difficult year for our republic.
Doesn’t this contradict our favorite WHI? Will they vote again after the new House takes their seats in January?
Now she will be out for the blood of those ‘Rats who dared to oppose her.
Need some popcorn! Who has the popcorn?
This is beyond words....
Let them...the new majority may not let that stand...
Oh glory, fools are as fools do... standing their ground till their last burrial... SWEET!!
You know liberals: the house falls on them, they get up and dust themselves off and continue like nothing had happened.
They’re the political cockroaches of the earth.
Great news.
Yes, it does contradict the supposed WHI. If true, maybe the WH buckled.
The latest installment ends with this cryptic message.

Insider:... Damned if somebody didn’t tell me something interesting that they said came out of the Pelosi office.
Ulsterman:The Pelosi office? About the California missile story?
Insider: (eyebrows raise - wide smile) Noooo, not the missile story…
Here is an interesting question: How many of the Dems who voted her back into a leadership position were endorsed by the NRA?
wow they really are that stupid
I am happy for the democrats. Truly.
They have turned the US Congress into a reality show and Nutty Nan is the ultimate survivor.
