*** UPDATE at 12:45 PM CST *** --- Club for Growth says, "I’m being told by a reliable source that the first ballot for House Majority Leader was invalid. Too many people voted. Stay tuned…" Let the games begin ...
The House will convene today to vote for a new House Majority Leader. Casting secret votes, the members will choose between acting Majority Leader Roy Blunt, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, and Rep. John Shadegg of Arizona.
My two cents are simple; the only true reformer and non-K-Streeter is John Shadegg. He has gotten key, vital support from House conservatives on the Republican Study Committee, which he used to run. He also received support from Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
In the intellectual community, the ballots are in quite favorably for Shadegg. Larry Kudlow has given his full support, and so have the Townhall.com editors. The Club For Growth is also in the ring of Shadegg backers.
The race will be very tight, no doubt. Let's hope the best man comes out on top. Stay tuned for updates ...
