The liberal suicide march continues, with Pelosi & Reid - along with a deservedly wounded Pres. - still being the faces of the Party. Lord help us.

From The Wall Street Journal:

In a tense and somber meeting, Democrats who lost their seats in the midterm election urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to abandon her bid to remain her party's leader in the House.

It was the first time that Ms. Pelosi had faced the critics from within her own ranks since Nov. 2, when Democrats lost more than 60 House seats—and their majority in the chamber.

Despite the calls for her removal, Ms. Pelosi is widely expected to survive an internal caucus election on Wednesday and become minority leader, keeping her a face of the party.

Rep. Heath Shuler, the lone Democrat who has announced a challenge to Ms. Pelosi in the caucus elections, worried that her status atop the party would make it harder for Democrats to recruit candidates in moderate districts like his own, in western North Carolina.

"You also lost a tremendous amount of moderates in the Democratic Party," Mr. Shuler said. Of about 45 districts where voters in 2008 favored the Republican candidate for president but installed a Democrat in the House, "there's, what, 11 or 12 of us left," Mr. Shuler said.

Democrats in the Senate are also poised to leave the bulk of their leadership teams in place.

Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada was re-installed as majority leader by acclamation on Tuesday.
