Here Comes Shuler: NC Dem Set To Make His Leadership Bid Official This Weekend | TPMDC

This man is dumb as dirt….

I live in North Carolina and know….

Nancy Pelosi is one of the few Democrats who know how to fight.  And she delivered.  She’s one of the most effective Speakers of the House I can remember.

She’s being blamed for the dysfunctional Senate and the lack of message control and balls in the White House….

The good new is this- and this fool- is going no where….

Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) is setting the stage for an official challenge to Nancy Peolsi’s bid to lead the Democratic minority in the next Congress. Shuler, a moderate from the North Carolina mountains, will make his intentions official on the national stage this weekend, The Hill reports.

Shuler pitched himself as a moderate alternative to Pelosi as leader of the House caucus before she officially announced her run for Minority Leader in the next Congress.

Now, with most observers thinking Pelosi has the position locked up, Shuler appears ready to make good on his promise to take her on.

He “is scheduled to address his leadership plans during appearances on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ Sunday and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program on Monday,” The Hill’s Mike O’Brien reports.

Even Shuler says he’s the under(blue)dog in a battle against Pelosi for House Democratic leader. He told one local paper in his district that “it is probably a race we can’t win.”
