The No Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Democrat bigotry is becoming a worry among the shaky Democrat leadership.
(Page 4 of 4)
For months, the office of House deputy minority leader Steny Hoyer has been denying that he has had his eye on moving up the leadership ladder. All the time, however, his outside consultants and allies have been fundraising and meeting with Washington lobbyists, impressing upon them that Hoyer would be a more receptive leader to their interests if he were leader of the party in the House.
Now, according to House Democrat insider, there is talk of Hoyer attempting to line up support from Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who serves as head of the House Democrat campaign committee.
Reid is in a slightly better position. Beyond those who would like to see Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton take his seat, he doesn’t believe there is a legitimate challenger to his position. But both Sens. Dick Durbin, his deputy, and Chris Dodd have expressed interest in his job.
