SHULER TO OPPOSE PELOSI – AT 7:29 P.M. ET:  Moderate Democratic Congressman Heath Shuler of North Carolina is making it official, according to Fox News.  He will oppose Nancy Pelosi's bid to be House Minority Leader, now that she's losing the speakership.

We feel that this is a symbolic action, with little chance of success.  The Democratic House delegation is even more left wing now than before the recent election.  The liberals have the safe seats, especially those carved out for ethnic constituencies.  The moderates, representing the swing districts, which really decide the majority in the House, were wiped out.

The liberals would rather go down in flame sticking rigidly to their 1960s principles, than make reasonable compromises.  But at least Pelosi will get some opposition, reminding her that the whole country isn't San Francisco.

At the same time, formerly important filmmaker Michael Moore is urging President Obama and the Dems to go left because, according to Moore, that's really what the American people want.  Moore, who occasionally works, bases his argument on the very fact that the moderates got wiped out.  That means Americans rejected them in favor of liberals, Moore says.

Moore is not known to have a psychiatric record, but seems intent on establishing one.
