Forget John Murtha or Steny Hoyer. How about this idea from The Nation: Henry Waxman as the number Democrat in the House?
The Los Angeles Congressman is one of the smartest and most progressive and
reform-minded members of the House.
Blogger Nancy Scola has kicked the campaign off with a Website — and I have to say it makes tremendous sense.
Consider: Waxman was against the war and has already attempted to shed light on the wrongdoings of the Bush administration, proving he’s got the guts to stand up and fight.
Other options that should be embraced by liberals (from New Jersey): Rush Holt, Donald Payne and Frank Pallone and (from elsewhere) Dennis Kucinich.
