Pelosi Stepping In

Former Speaker and House Minority Leader hopeful Nancy Pelosi has decided to get involved in the race between Steny Hoyer and James Clyburn for Minority Whip, and is apparently decided to organize a compromise. Sources saying she is doing what she can in order to avoid The House having to cast dividing votes. One idea that seems to be making the rounds is that one would get Minority Whip, which means one person would be in charge of making sure that the party members vote along party lines, and the other would head the House Caucus Chairman. An issue that has come up is the fact that Clyburn is an African American with support from the Congressional Black Caucus. Both men are saying that they have all the support they need, and the upper hand. Aides to both have claimed that even behind the scenes, it is calm and relatively peaceful between the two.
