In the House you have two moderates, one a new-aged DLC schmoozer (Steny Hoyer) and one an old-fashioned pork-barreller (John Murtha) duking it out for Majority Leader.
Meanwhile, in the Senate, Robert Byrd is set to lead Appropriations.
If Byrd and Murtha (district in southwestern Pennsylvania) are both in place, every “fixer” in Appalachia will have his pockets lined with greenbacks.
Also in the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid just had his penchant for earmarks covered in detail. His explanation rings pretty hollow.
