[troublemaker]

1. Obviously Maxine Waters and Barney Frank must be DINO PNAC conspirators

[Freddie Stubbs]

5. They are finally showing their true colors

;)

[Buzz Clik]

8. What? They disagree with you and so they're not Democrats?

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Sarcasm tag forgotten.

:hi:

[texpatriot2004]

2. Hoyer is wrong for the job. nm

[DaveinMD]

12. I disagree

Steny will do a great job. Quite glad he won.

[goodhue]

3. thanks for this list

I didn't know the my rep-elect Keith Ellison had signed on for Hoyer. Last I heard Keith was undecided, but that was before yesterday's letter from Waters et al. Looks like a lot of the CBC is sticking with Hoyer.

Also interesting to see Ohio progressives like Kucinich, Kaptur, Ryan lining up behind Murtha.

[goodhue]

6. .

[The Wielding Truth]

15. Kucinich is not one to act from fear or pressure. I am with him and Murtha.

[Generator]

4. I don't know what to think!

Murtha has some baggage. Hoyer it seems won't stand up to Bush on Iraq. Good people can disagree. Murtha pulls no punches, which we need.

Will Murtha hurt or help? Hoyer seems like a nothing there there guy to me. I'm SO sick of them.

?

[KamaAina]

7. That's 90 for Hoyer out of (at this writing) 116 needed to win

CNN showing 230 Dem seats, counting Courtney (D-CT02), with 9 still (!) undecided.

Murtha -- and Pelosi -- are definitely facing an uphill battle here based on those numbers.

edit: Yes, I counted. Twice. What can I tell you? It's a slow day, as most of my colleagues are at a training.

[The Wielding Truth]

22. Will Hoyer wheel and deal for us? Take a hard stand for truth?

Hope so? He's in now.

[goodhue]

9. I know vote was secret, but anybody have a clue as to who voted who

n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. Rahm Emmanuel didn't vote?

Kucinich, Lofgren, McDermott, McGovern, Meek, Miller, Moran, Sanchez, Holt...true BLUE Democrats.:thumbsup:

[goodhue]

20. This is not a list of how people voted, but rather of public pledges of support

The list is from the Hotline blog and is from yesterday.

[BootinUp]

13. Why did they release that? So we could have some more

circular firing squad activities?

[WilliamPitt]

14. "Why did they release that?"

Um...because it's still a democracy, and we get to see who voted for what.

[BootinUp]

16. I thought for these types of votes

it was generally done by secret ballot, not sure I see an advantage to having a house leadership vote become another issue to shoot ourselves over. To each his own Will.

[Orangepeel]

18. you are right that it was a secret ballot

I believe that this is a list of those that have publicly declared their support, not an official voting record.

[goodhue]

21. actually, the vote is secret and we don't get to see who voted for who

This is not a list of votes, and is not presented as such

[goodhue]

19. The list predates the vote and was compiled by the Hotline blog

[GymGeekAus]

17. Anyone wanna dare explain what the job entails?

Go ahead. :)

And don't look it up first. That's cheating.
