Hoyer beats out Murtha for Majority Leader

Good. Great.

The lesser of two evils. Instead of the foaming at the gums anti-war, ethically questionable Congressman, we got the low-key, rakes in tons of special interest money guy.

What is most telling about the outcome is Pelosi's loss of her candidate. The clear inter-party struggle so soon after the election (unless the media just overhyped it, which is entirely possible) does not bode well for the Democrats hopes for unity in the coming months.

Let's hope the rest of their terms has a happier ending than it began.

Looks who's not smiling anymore.
