The melee for Republican minority leadership

Boehner proxies throw mud at Mike Pence in Republican minority leader race.

Mehlman is being ridden out on a rail. On his show, Limbaugh apparently replayed Bill Maher outing Mehlman. (Now it's reached WND.)

And, check this out. After watching the big lefty bloggers fight back and forth with the Dem party leadership, how do you think this will work out adding bloggers to an already nasty leadership process?
A group of conservative bloggers want the Republican Party to consult with "its troops and especially its donors" in the race for House leadership positions after the G.O.P. "got its head handed to it" in Tuesday's elections. The right-leaning blog "Truth Laid Bear," joined by more than a dozen conservative bloggers, is organizing an effort to interview candidates for minority leadership posts before next week's closed-door elections.

Not like their opinion really matters, but still, what a potential for long term nastiness.

  • I don't know much about Pence, is he more of a centrist than Boehner or is he just a little 'nicer'?

    I must admit, it's fun to see some disarray amongst these groups.

  • No, I don't think Pence is either more centrist or "nicer." I might give him a bit more businesslike. Boehner always seemed like a bit of a goof to me. I think Pence would be much more serious.

    And, I'm having alot of fun watching this as well.
