Pelosi Won't Get Key Backing
The Huffington Post reports:
Bobby Bright, a Democrat from Alabama, became the first House Democrat to definitively say that he will not vote to make Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the 112th House of Representatives, telling the local WSFA that he would vote for "a centrist."
"I am not going to vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. Neither the leader of the minority party, John Boehner, nor the present Speaker, will get my vote. I will vote for someone, a centrist, who is much more like me," said Bright in an interview with a local station.
Bright's Republican opponent has repeatedly attempted to tie Bright to Pelosi, a reflection of a national strategy that Republicans have employed over the past several election cycles.
Bright previously made news by dodging the question of whether he'd vote for her by speculating that she may not even be alive at the time. (Four Democratic House challengers have said that they will not vote for Pelosi, though none are considered viable.)
