Rep. Kevin McCarthy, D-Des Moines, is in line to become the new House majority leader. Selection of (Murphy and McCarthy) would put a relatively moderate face on the new Democratic majority in the House. Neither comes from the party's liberal wing and both are considered centrists.
McCarthy was far enough right that he was state director for Joe Lieberman back in 2003... which made him one of about seven Iowans who backed Joementum along with party switcher Doug Struyk. (Maybe that's where Joe got the idea?) So you combine that with an anti-choice Speaker... Lord, do I miss Dick Myers.
The biggest cloud in last week's silver lining election is that Joe Lieberman holds control of the US Senate in his traitorous hands. If it weren't for that "Harold Ford wants to sleep with white women" ad, we could have assigned Lieberman to the Bathroom Inspection and Toilet Scrubbing Committee where he belongs.
Please. God. No.
Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson said in Des Moines Wednesday that he hopes to run for president.
Is he timing this just to mock me, an expatriate cheesehead who's still lamenting the demise of the Feingold campaign?
