 Meet the New Democrat Congressional Leaders The New Democrat LeadersCommentary for Thursday 11/16/2006 The New Democrat LeadersDemocrats Choose Leaders Commentary: Today the Democrats chose their leaders. Nancy Pelosi (D)California won a unanimous vote for the House speaker position, but suffered a political setback when her choice for second in command was defeated. The split in the House Democrats represents what is sure to be a continual thorn in the backside of Pelosi. The campaign to win control of the house necessitated running conservative democrats in those districts which would never have elected a left wing liberal. The end result was a strengthening of the moderate Democrat wing. The coming House term is going to be really interesting. The conservative leaning Democrats will surely be courted by the Republicans to vote with them. Since the Democrat majority is thin, any defections from the liberal line could possibly swing the voting to favor the Republicans. It'll be fun!!
