meet the new boss, same as the old boss…
Boehner is a consumate Washington insider with strong ties to K-Street. Looks like the GOP isn’t really that serious about reform.
pretty amusing that they had to take a mulligan on the first vote
Blunt lost? Both Ways Bob can’t be too happy.
I must not be getting enough sleep this week…I can’t come up with a good Boner, er um Boehner joke.
Did Joel Hefley back the winner?
If, he did I bet he runs again.
Does anyone know who Rep. JOel Hefley supported for Majority Leader?
If Hefley was voting with his prior ethical bias, he probably voted Shaddig in the first round and abstained in the second… If not, my guess is he voted Boehner over Blunt, since Boehner is less connected to DeLay. (Boehner “owned” the K Street GOP House liason efforts before DeLay was elected Majority Leader. Dems will probably focus on his most blatant lobbyist tie: handing out tobacco lobby checks on the floor of the House during a vote on tobacco legislation…)
I’m trying to figure out ol’ Bob’s position on the House Majority Race. First, he was reported as backing Roy Blunt in the National Journal:

Then, he gets on the radio and states that he just liked all three of the candidates so much that he couldn’t make up his mind:

Finally, going into the first ballot, 167 members of Congress had made their choices known to the public. Beauprez was just one of a handful who did not (if you don’t count his earlier flip-flop):

Bob is getting more ambitious, having it three ways is a difficult task even for him.
Good Catch. I notice Tancredo’s the only Colorado Rep willing to declare, and he voted for “more of Tom DeLay’s old team”, aka Blunt.
Joel Hefley suddenly is a big time player again.
Beauprez,Musgrave and Tancredo made the safe move and went with Blunt. Hefley quietly lined up votes for Boehner. Expect Hefley to be chairing a major Committee and dust off those Reelect Hefley signs.
Again – anyone want to quote a source on the vote that includes our other GOP Reps?
Hefley’s support of Boehner only gets him to “support the guy without immediate ties to DeLay”, not to “support the guy who isn’t corrupt”. The vote was a joke on GOP ethics, with both major sides passing out cash from their PACs and complete with a vote miscount.
Boehner’s as dirty (or dirtier) than Blunt, and more obvious about it too – in a taped cell call he was caught discussing with Gingrich and DeLay how to get around an Ethics Committee ruling against Gingrich.
