Report: Hoyer likely House Majority Leader.

Hotline reports that two independent sources say Rep. John Murtha’s (D-PA) campaign for Majority Leader “conceded that they will likely fall short,” giving the race to current Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD).

UPDATE: Hotline retracts its report.

UPDATE II: Fox News reports that Nancy Pelosi has been unanimously nominated by Democrats to be Speaker of the House of Representatives, “becoming the first woman to be ensured the job that constitutionally is second in line of succession to the presidency.”
