Look at this!

Taking just the House of Representatives, here is a small slice of who will be leading:

Nancy Pelosi—a progressive—becomes Speaker of the House of Representatives.


John Murtha—a veteran and anti-war champion—would become chair of the House subcommittee on defense appropriations. He would be in charge of the budget for the war in Iraq.


John Conyers—who forced a national debate on the Downing Street Memos—would be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.


Henry Waxman would be chairman of the Government Reform committee—he has a bulls-eye on war profiteers like Halliburton.


Barney Frank—who has led efforts to rein in out-of-control CEO pay—would be in charge of the Financial Services Committee.


David Obey—who led opposition to the Republican budget—would be chair of the House Appropriations committee—protecting Medicaid, food stamps, veteran's benefits, student loans and more.


Charles Rangel—who predicted the Medicare debacle—would be chair of the House Ways and Means committee—protecting Social Security.


George Miller—a big advocate for working people—would be chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and could bring a vote to raise the minimum wage.
