The announcement comes days after voters elected more than 60 new Republicans to the House, the largest pickup in an election since 1948. A growing chorus of Democrats have called on Pelosi to step down and let new members run for leadership.
Rep. Larry Kissell, D-N.C. added his voice to that chorus today, telling Politico that, "We suffered a devastating defeat on Tuesday in terms of the House of Representatives. In order to become a national party again, we should have new leadership in the next Congress." Reps. Heath Shuler, D-N.C., John Yarmuth, D-Ky., and Jim Matheson, D-Utah, have also said they will not support their leader.
The brawl between Reps. Steny Hoyer and James Clyburn for the No. 2 House Democratic post in the next Congress pits two congressional heavyweights against each other, with the loser potentially out of leadership.
Hoyer and Clyburn currently serve as the majority leader and majority whip, respectively. With Speaker Nancy Pelosis announcement that she will run for minority leader and the near-certainty of her easy win Hoyer and Clyburn were forced to choose whether to run for minority whip. Both are doing so now, leaning hard on members for support, although Hoyer hasnt made an official announcement yet, according to Democratic
insiders.
She's got my support! Deck chairs in the Titanic now is it?
This will be the best thing that could ever happen for the Republicans... Should be a landslide historic turnaround in the House in 2012. For once in the history of the House there might not be ANY Democrats in there. You go, girl!

WASHINGTON In a fresh sign of turmoil among defeated Democrats, a growing number of the rank and file say they won't support House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a politically symbolic roll call when the new Congress meets in January.
"The reality is that she is politically toxic," said Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley, one of several Democrats who are trying to pressure Pelosi to step aside as her party's leader in the wake of historic election losses to Republicans last week.

why do I see visions of this hairbrained idiot being dragged down the center isle of the house of representatives?
When a woman with that much scorn and arrogance sets her mind to remain in a place of power, about all you can do is pry her fingers from the chair and throw her power hunger ass out on the street.
Sounds like the dems are in a frame of mind to do just that...
And that, my friends, would be an incredibly entertaining sight to see.
