Lampson Watch -- The First Broken Promise?

The new Democrat majority in Congress presents the first opportunity for Nick Lampson to keep or break a promise he made to the voters of CD22.

During the campaign, many of us in the GOP pointed out that a vote for Lampson was a vote to make Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House. His supporters responded that Lampson had said he would not support her selection.

Question -- When will the newly-elected Nick Lampson declare his opposition to the selection of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House? Will he vote against her on the floor of the House on the first day of the new Congress in January? Or will his first action as the "representative" of CD22 be to break faith with the people of the district by voting for her?

I suspect that Lampson Watch will become a regular feature of this blog.

1 Do you have a link to Congressman Lampson's statement on voting for/against Ms. Pelosi?

What is the big objection to Pelosi, anyway?

Thank You!

2 Nancy Pelosi is widely considered to be one of the most liberal Democrats in the House, in other words, a liberal's liberal. She represents San Francisco, which is perhaps one of the, if not, the most liberal city in the nation.

BTW, Nick Lampson did vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. I watched it on C-SPAN.

3 And I did note his vote on this site when it happened. What a thorough misrepresentation of the values of CD22!

Lampson's First Vote -- San Francisco, Not Texas, Values
