Pelosi Named Speaker
Jubilant House Democrats on Thursday elected Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) as the first woman speaker of the House, the crowning celebration of newfound power the party won in the November's electoral sweep."I accept this gavel in the spirit of partnership, not partisanship, and look forward to working with you on behalf of the American people," Pelosi said. "In this House, we may belong to different parties, but we serve one country."
I'll be the first to admit I'm not a big Pelosi fan, but this is a HUGE step for women across out nation! Congratulations Speaker Pelosi. I hope that you are able to help bring the country back from the brink!
