Pelosi and Herseth

Here's an interesting AP piece discussing House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's efforts on behalf of Stephanie Herseth: "Pelosi raising cash, sharpening message for Democrats."

In the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, of all places, this blurb can be found:

Now that Democrat Stephanie Herseth of South Dakota has won a special election and been sworn in as the state's congresswoman, U.S. Rep. Max Sandlin, D-Marshall, can say he is enjoying a congressional romance.

Sandlin, who is divorced, and Herseth, who is single, were together often in Austin last summer during the redistricting saga. And Sandlin helped raise money for her congressional race.

This is not Sandlin's first high-profile political romance. He dated Christine Pelosi, daughter of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California and chief of staff to Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass.
