PELOSI TRIES TO QUASH POTENTIAL DEM CIVIL WAR: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi faces House Democrats on Wednesday in the latest test of her political power ... The lead-up to an internal vote for speaker has been marked by highly visible intra-party squabbles. A swath of vocal Democrats – ranging from Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., to Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., to Tim Ryan, D-Ohio – want someone else. But despite the drama, Democrats will likely return Pelosi to the job she held from 2007 to 2011. The bigger test comes when the new Congress starts in January, and the San Francisco Democrat must win a floor vote – from members of both parties, Republicans and anti-Nancy freshman Democrats among them. Yet no other Democrat, as of now, is challenging Pelosi for the slot. And some Democrats who vowed to oppose her have since softened that position. - Reported by Chad Pergram
