Pelosi to maintain party leadership in the House

[null0010]

Sometimes I think Democrats are subject to some kind of collective intellectual problem when within the House chambers.

Pelosi, 70, overcame a rebellion from party centrists, and even some fellow liberals, who argued that the party needs to offer a new face of leadership after losing at least 60 House seats on Nov. 2. She remains popular among the liberals who dominate the party's House caucus. But Shuler's level of support – plus an earlier 129-68 vote against postponing the election that Pelosi wanted to wrap up quickly – underscored the degree of discontent in a party that Pelosi had largely bended to her will in the past four years.

(Personally, I wanted Steny Hoyer.)
