Harry votes for Nancy

After swearing-in, the first order of business for the new 110th Democratically-controlled Congress was to elect the Speaker. The vote was completely party line, with the 233 Democrats voting for Nancy Pelosi and 202 Republicans voting for John Boehner.

It is truly a historic day with the first woman being elected Speaker. As with his 232 Democratic colleagues, Harry voted to elect Pelosi to the Speaker's chair. I'll be updating over the next few days the progress of the First 100 Hours Agenda and how Harry ties in with the ethics package and everything else.

Happy New Congress Day!

This is an open thread. How was your New Years?
