A liberal group working to win back the House for Democrats this November has an idea of who would be in charge if the minority party regains power.

Murtha's call to begin withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq immediately, adding that a majority of House Democrats also agree. I'm endorsing what Mr. Murtha is saying, which is that the status quo is not working and that we need to have a plan that makes us safer, our military stronger, and makes Iraq more stable," she said.
