HOYER WINS. 149-86. This was all in all a pretty bizarre screw-up on Pelosi's part, but the saving grace of this leadership fight is how quickly it all happened, without dragging on for too many more days or weeks. It's still very early for the incoming majority. Time to kiss, make up, move on. Sidenote: Truly, is there a more bombastic congressman than Jim Moran?
UPDATE: See more from Mike Crowley, who certainly sees no silver lining for Pelosi in this whole thing.
