Democrats Sidestep Leadership Fight (http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/11/13/democrats-sidestep-leadership-fight/)
Mr. Clyburn will remain No. 3 in the leadership by assuming an as-yet-unnamed position.
Let's hope it's a politically correct title...one that will continue to fool the African-American community into thinking that White Democrats really, really, like black people. Democrats need that 90-95% voting block now more than ever.
As of late last night, not everyone in the Congressional Black Caucus was happy with the arrangement...
Black Caucus leader: Clyburn plays key role in keeping African-American voters (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/129023-black-caucus-leader-clyburn-plays-key-role-in-keeping-african-american-voters)
The head of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) continued a push Friday to keep Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) as party whip in the next Congress, arguing the strategic importance of having an African-American on the leadership team.
CBC Chairwoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) said Clyburn — in a tough race with Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) for minority whip — is "uniquely positioned" to promote the interests of CBC members and their constituents — voters who could prove vital to the Democrats' election chances in 2012.
Who knows, maybe Pelosi and Hoyer will hold a seance and conjure up "Sheets" Byrd's spirit to pay Congressman Clyburn a visit and tell him to quit being so uppity.
