DeGette will (likely) run for House Majority Whip
Roll Call (via SquareState) reports that CD1 Democratic representative Diana DeGette will run for House Majority Whip. I contacted the congresswoman's office. And while they wouldn't give me a definitive answer, I got the feeling she'll declare either today or Monday.
DeGette has the credentials. She's a leading advocate for progressive values (here and here); Net neutrality (here); environmental causes (here); and stem cell research (here, here, here and here, among others).
When I was banging on doors for Bill Ritter a couple Saturdays ago, I ran into an elderly woman who would not let me leave until she told me how much she loved DeGette for "standing up for seniors." The woman quite literally said she was supporting Ritter purely because he was in DeGette's party.
The original headline for this post read "DeGette will (likely) run for House Minority Whip." Changing the word "minority" to "majority" felt wonderful.
