Pelosi is the Next Speaker of the House

From Fox New's newly blue website:

WASHINGTON — Current Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi was unanimously chosen by her caucus Thursday to be speaker of the House, becoming the first woman to be ensured the job that constitutionally is second in line of succession to the presidency.
Of course Fox News couldn't resist piling on about the 'earth-shattering, party-destroying infighting' going on in the fight between Murtha and Hoyer. Our party is run as a democracy - complete with vigorous debate - and not a top-down, authoritarian juggernaut. And despite the fact that it's messy at times, it's a good thing.
