Dem Leadership: Decision '06, Part Deux
November 16, 2006
| 7:45 AM
House Dems meet this morning at 9am to decide the party's next majority leader. Current Dem Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) holds a big lead in public support -- he's got 91 votes compared with Rep. John Murtha's (D-PA) 33. That still leaves almost 90 representatives -- enough to create a majority for either candidate -- uncommitted.
Although neither Hoyer nor Murtha have released public lists of supporters at this time, the following has been compiled from members independently announcing their support. [REID WILSON]
