		House Democrats will attempt today to force Republicans to retreat from a key provision in their budget, hoping to repeat last year’s victory in which the GOP leaders released their rank-and-file members and allowed them to vote for the Democrats’ motion to instruct conferees.
		Today’s vote will be the first of several procedural and political moves in which Democrats hope to harness their unanimous opposition to the Republican budget and provide voters a clear choice about the two parties’; priorities on homeland security, veterans, the environment and education.
		This year’s whipping operation started nearly four weeks before the actual vote and was closely coordinated with outside groups, said a senior Democratic leadership aide.

		House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer makes a fairly compelling case that a "miracle" isn't out of the question.
		At the end of June 1994, there were 68 congressional seats around the country considered competitive — open seats contested by first-time Republican and Democratic candidates, or seats in which a vulnerable incumbent faced a strong challenge.
		But for April, May and June of this year, House Democrats surged and by June 30, the Democratic campaign organization for the House had $18.5 million on hand compared with $20.2 million in GOP coffers — a far narrower Republican cash-on-hand advantage of than in the past.

		The position at stake is House minority whip, so named because the office holder is supposed to whip up support for party positions at the direction of the House minority leader.
		And with House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri weighing a run for president in 2004 that would likely force him to relinquish his leadership post, the new minority whip would be the odds-on favorite to take Gephardt's position.
		Although the minority whip is just one of many elected officials who steers the party's agenda, Hoyer said if Democrats elect him, "the caucus will be deciding to be more centrist."

	Gingrich to Suceed Michel as Minority Leader in the House (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., displaying the confrontational style that delights many of his party colleagues and infuriates many Democrats, claimed Thursday that he has the votes to succeed retiring Rep. Robert H. Michel, R-Ill., as House minority leader.
		The election is 14 months away and the electorate that will choose a new leader could be changed by the number of Republican retirements, defeats of incumbents and GOP victories by candidates running against Democrats in 1994.
		At issue will be whether House Republicans want to promote Gingrich or turn to a more pragmatic conservative such as Gerald Solomon, R-N.Y., as chief strategist and spokesman for the GOP minority in the House.

	Hoyer coy on floor votes=The Hill.com= (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) yesterday apparently disagreed with his boss, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), saying that in principle he did not object to the tactic of holding floor votes open longer than the allotted 17 minutes.
		In his weekly press briefing, the No. 2 Democrat directed his ire toward Republicans, whom he accused of rank hypocrisy for employing the kind of heavy-handed floor tactics that such GOP bomb-throwers as then-House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) rode to the speakership by criticizing in the early ’90s.
		Leaving himself room to maneuver should his party regain the majority, Hoyer was at pains to adopt a position that would inoculate him from accusations of hypocrisy as he also sought to make a distinction between what he called “abuses of power” and “corruption” by Republicans.
