Pelosi Backs Murtha Against Hoyer
(Cross-posted at Maryland Politics Watch).
In the race for majority leader, Maryland's favorite daughter (otherwise known as Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi) has endorsed Pennsylvanian John Murtha over Marylander Steny Hoyer in race for House Majority Leader. Hoyer still claims that he still has the votes to win. Steny is the highest ranking Marylander to serve in the House in over a century. And let's just forget about the only Marylander to serve as president or vice president: Spiro Agnew.

I guess it depends upon who you want to call president, but under the Articles of Confederation Marylander John Hanson was President of the United States in Congress Assembled from 1871 to 1872 ...
Make that 1781 to 1782. :) But mainly, thanks for the research!
