HONOLULU — Ed Case, who is returning to Congress next month, is supporting Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s bid to be speaker of the U.S. House.
The Hawaii Democrat told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that he voted for Pelosi during a closed-door caucus last month and he plans vote for Pelosi again during the final floor tally on Jan. 3.
Case says the California Democrat is an “accomplished legislator and leader” who has a “special place in her heart for Hawaii.”
He says he surveyed constituents on the matter last month, gaining responses from about 1,500 people. He says about 60 percent indicated they supported Pelosi, who held the post from 2007 to January 2011.
Case previously served in Congress from 2002 to 2007.

This is newsworthy?
1. Is it newsworthy when a leopard does not change its spots? Ed Case is a Democrat. Will always be a Democrat. Despite his claims to be a conservative “blue dog”, he almost always votes lefty.
2. Ed Case represents the Congressional district of urban Honolulu, not the rural and neighbor-island district that includes Kaua’i. So why is this news report published in the Kaua’i newspaper? Might as well report how Maxine Waters [California] will vote. I’ll bet Ed Case did not ask anyone on Kaua’i for advice, because you are not his constituents.
