Dem House Fight: Waxman Beats Dingell In First Round

Dem House Fight: Waxman Beats Dingell In First Round

Rep Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) has won round one in his bid to unseat Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) as chairman of the powerhouse commerce committee.

Waxman won a critical preliminary vote on the Dem's steering committee vote 25-22. The vote goes to the full caucus, likely tomorrow.

A steering win doesn't always translate into a caucus victory -- but it's a big step for Waxman.
