Majority Leader[edit]

It should be noted that it is assumed that Smith will become majority leader; however, there are Democrats opposing this measure, bringing the number of votes for Smith to 29, so unless some Republicans vote for him and join the Democratic Caucus, that would make the vote below 30, which is not enough for a majority; the other possibility is dissenting Democrats vote for him at the end of the day. Also, corrected is when his minority leadership terminates; the article claimed 2008, it ends in 2009, regardless if he becomes Majority leader or not, which is when the new minority leader takes office. However, it is technically possible for him to stay minority leader if the GOP so chooses. Pigs would sooner fly though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.247.102.31 (talk) 04:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although it's not certain that Smith will become the majority leader, it is almost certain that the so-called Group of Three will vote for a Democrat as leader, except that the person may not be Smith. --BOARshevik (talk) 01:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
