Pelosi Backs Murtha Against Hoyer

In the race for majority leader, Maryland's favorite daughter (otherwise known as Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi) has endorsed Pennsylvanian John Murtha over Marylander Steny Hoyer in race for House Majority Leader. Hoyer still claims that he still has the votes to win. Steny is the highest ranking Marylander to serve in the House in over a century. And let's just forget about the only Marylander to serve as president or vice president: Spiro Agnew.
