question:
Washington (CNN) Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan is calling his bid to oust Nancy Pelosi a "David versus Goliath" type clash -- a back bencher competing against the top House Democrat who made history in 2007 when she was sworn in as the first female speaker of the House. "If you're a quarterback and you keep throwing interceptions, you change quarterbacks," the 43-year-old Ryan, a former high school football player, said in a recent interview criticizing the record of Pelosi, 76, and arguing it's time for a younger generation to take the reins. Ryan's gambit is unusual because most leadership challenges come from members using another party position or a top slot on a key committee as a launching pad.Ryan is in his 7th term, but hasn't been a national leader for DemocratsYounger Democrats are unhappy with the lack of opportunities to advance in party leadershipPelosi is expected to fend off Ryan's challenge
answer:
Ryan and other _ who pressed for more time before the vote point out that there is basically no bench for House Democrats.


question:
(CNN) -- CNN Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr reported Thursday that the U.S. intelligence community has information that Russian artillery is firing into eastern Ukraine. The artillery pieces shown in the released footage are Russian M-46 130mm field guns with a range of a little over 16 miles. Why would the Russians do this? Simple -- this fits into their plan to support pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. The end game? I believe it is the eventual absorption of that region into the Russian Federation. The area in red on the map is where much of the fighting between the Ukrainian government and the pro-Russian rebels has been occurring over the last month. The separatists have downed several Ukrainian military aircraft in this area as the fighting raged. It is also the area in which Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down in what most of us believe was a tragic case of mistaken identity and inept use of modern weaponry.U.S. intelligence officials say they believe Russian artillery is firing into eastern UkraineRick Francona says the artillery firing is a significant escalation by the RussiansHe says Vladimir Putin's concern is to protect the pro-Russian rebelsFrancona: Ultimately, Putin may claim territory in eastern Ukraine to 'protect' rebels
answer:
Over the past month, the Ukrainians have been successful in pushing the rebels into a pocket near the _ border.


question:
(CNN) -- At a modest stucco home in Montgomery, Alabama, an unlikely presidential victory celebration is taking place this morning. Barack Obama's election victory represents a triumph for civil rights activists before him. Peggy Wallace Kennedy, the daughter of the late George Wallace, the Alabama governor who once vowed to maintain segregation forever, is rejoicing. Kennedy, 58, voted for Sen. Barack Obama. She says she was "mesmerized" when she first heard him speak at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Her admiration for Obama deepened when she learned he opposed the Iraq war. She even slapped an Obama bumper sticker on her car, even though someone told her that the prospect of an African-American president would have her father "rolling over in his grave."Obama's win validates risks civil rights activists took years ago, some sayAmerica is "evolving... trying to reach for the best part of itself," former activist saysSegregationist's daughter: I think Obama will be one of the best presidents
