For the good of the country -- and his campaign -- a Democratic congressional candidate is calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to leave her post next year.
Imperiled candidate Brett Carter, who's running for Congress in a conservative district in Tennessee, sent a letter to the California Democrat Thursday urging her to publicly announce that she will not seek the speakership next year.
Of course, the only civil war is in the Republican Party, right? We'll see how many in the media take a look at this story.

Its probably just that intra-party conflict among Democrats isn't unusual. Liberal and conservative Democrats have been fighting for years, going as far back as '68. Heck, this guy isn't even the first to make an issue out of Pelosi's leadership. Griffith left the party because of it, and Oliverio won a Democratic primary in West Virginia in part by claiming if elected he'd back the Republican candidate for speaker.
