(45,319 posts)that Party votes for the same person for Speaker. That seems obvious but I guess it's not.
"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) entered the 113th Congress on Thursday with a greater show of support from her Democratic troops than she had just two years ago.
In Thursday's much-watched vote for House Speaker, all but seven Democrats voiced their support for Pelosi a vast improvement over 2011 when 20 rank-and-file members declined to back the California liberal after the party was pummeled at the polls just a few months earlier.
Five of the seven lawmakers are centrist Blue Dog Democrats who voted for other people."

So there you have the facts. Of course you will not acknowledge how wrong and how insulting you were while being so wrong, that's the Centrist Way to be mean without remorse to be wrong without regret.
