House Democrats Elect Pelosi

1 minute ago

By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Democrats on Thursday made Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) the first woman ever to head a political party's caucus in Congress.

In choosing Pelosi on a 177-29 vote, Democrats tasked the veteran California congresswoman with reviving a party stunned by election setbacks and facing a political landscape in which the White House and both houses of Congress are controlled by Republicans.

Democrats settled on the 62-year-old liberal to succeed Dick Gephardt of Missouri, who ended his eight years as party leader after an election where Republicans cemented their control over the House and won back the majority in the Senate.

Twenty-nine Democrats voted for Rep. Harold Ford (news, bio, voting record) of Tennessee, who had decided last Friday to challenge Pelosi for the job. Rep. Nancy Kaptur, an Ohio Democrat who got into the race only this week, pulled out before the vote.

Pelosi's selection came a day after Republicans picked a solidly conservative leadership team, with Sen. Trent Lott (news, bio, voting record) and House Speaker Dennis Hastert remaining at the helm, intent on advancing President Bush (news - web sites)'s agenda of lower taxes and increased attention to national security.

Actually, she was my second choice. I was hoping they'd pick Sheila Jackson Hyphen.

I have been informed that her full name is correctly pronounced Sheila Jackass Leech.

Yahoo!!!

I was worried the RATs would realize the doom she would bring to their party. I didn't think they were so stupid to actually elect her to party head!

This is sweet! She will depict the RATs for the liberal big spenders they really are!!

Thanks, the good news continues as the Arrogant White Racist Left Wing Rat Elite Fascists continue to drink their Hemlock.

The Clinton DemocRAT Party is lunging left! Blue Dogs went for Ford -- the rest went to Pelosi!

Wonder what Ralph Hall is going to say about this lunge way left!

Statement of the DemocRATs going back to the more liberal DemocRAT roots! This is great for our side!

Pelosi was an opponent of the Iraq invasion and she was teamed with Dick Armey on Homeland Security according to Carl Cameron which she voted for yesterday. That makes me want to scream! Don't know what happened to Armey but I have lost my respect for him.

Here we go......Pelosi is on!!!!

CSPAN I!

[PhiKapMom]

I was listening to Fox -- any White Guys in the Clinton DemocRAT Party leadership? I didn't hear any mentioned!

Really? I was rooting for Maxine Waters - in 4 years, there wouldn't be a Democrat anywhere in the US except for Bill Clinton and Terry McAuliffe.

[Dog]

She is so honored....

[PhiKapMom]

UGH!!!! She is going to be great for Republicans but figure my "mute" button is going to get a lot of use!

I was hoping they'd pick Sheila Jackson Hyphen.

She's too busy teaching astronomy.
