Situation Room onscreen text: Is Pelosi “Damaged Goods?”


On the November 16 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer asked “how badly is [Rep.] Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] damaged politically?” while the question “Damaged Goods?” was displayed on screen. Blitzer was referring to an “intraparty battle” among House Democrats, in which Pelosi backed Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) to be House majority leader but Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) was ultimately elected.

From the November 16 edition of CNN's The Situation Room at 4 p.m. ET:

BLITZER: Up next, much more on the race for the White House and which candidates have the early edge. [Democratic strategist] Paul Begala and [CNN political analyst and former U.S. Rep.] J.C. Watts [R-OK], they're standing by to weigh in.

Plus, intraparty battle. Is the fight among House Democrats over, and how badly is Nancy Pelosi damaged politically? Find out in today's strategy session. That's coming up next.
