House Democrats Pick Their Leader
House Democrats chose Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland majority leader. The interesting thing was that there was fighting amongst party members. Hoyer was chosen despite the fact that he wasn't the candidate favored by speaker of the house Nansy Pelosi. John Murtha was favored by Pelosi, who got 86 votes compared with 149, which were received by his opponents.
