CONGRESS MAPS ITS COURSE
RYAN IN……
Paul Ryan was re-elected by the House Republican conference Tuesday to serve a second term as speaker of the House. The official vote installing him as the speaker will come in early January, when the next session of Congress begins.
PELOSI ON HOLD
House Democrats decided Tuesday to delay their leadership elections until after Thanksgiving -- a move that will give reeling Democrats time to nurse their wounds and could spell trouble for longtime leader Nancy Pelosi.
After a closed-door meeting, some of Pelosi's supporters said it was time for some serious soul-searching in the Democratic Party.
The vote is set for November 30th.

With the overwhelming republican majority is Governor Wolf pretty much rendered moot?

IN RESPONSE
Moot, muted, neutered if he doesn't reach out to Democrats like John Yudichak and John Blake. Not just saying that because they are from the Lu and The Lac but because with only 16 Democrats in the Senate, these two have demonstrated they can reach across the aisle and work with the GOP. Plus I believe after the first year, he realizes that no matter what he says and how true it is, the GOP will not budge on certain issues. So you are right in your question but Harrisburg has a way (except for Property Tax Reform) of surprising.
Do you think Wolf will be our 2nd one term governor?
