Memo to Roy Blunt
"You suck!!"
Heh, sorry, but I'm still a bit giddy. It should be noted that Blunt will stay on as party whip (he did a Joe Lieberman and ran for both positions simultaneously.) Well, he's pretty good at that -- bribing and threatening. I just don't want him setting the legislative agenda.

How much you want to bet that the GOP House members are now looking for a way to push Blunt out of leadership entirely...

You guys want Lieberman by any chance? I'd trade him even up for Chafee.

Lol, I don't know, we'll have to think about it. :)
Frankly, I'm not sure we could do much better than Chafee in Rhode Island.

I'd say that's about right.
I'm also thrilled Blunt didn't get the job. Boehner doesn't suck, but Shadegg would still have been cooler. I'm not celebrating, but I'm not terribly upset either. Shadegg proved his point and will be a major player in a few years. Betcha he succeeds McCain as AZ Senator after 2008.
