Considering McCain endorsed him, I supect it is a GOOD think McCain's pick Shadegg lost

You're being unreasonable. McCain endorsed Bush in '04. Should we have voted for Kerry?

McCain is not trying to warm up to Conservatives, he is trying to force Conservatives to give up what brought them into power: Not giving Democrats an inch.

Boehner seems to be solid...apparently Shadegg backed out midway through, so probably his supporters went over to Boehner.

Why isn't Mike Pence - Indiana on that list?
BTW, Boehner will get the job done.

Isn't Boehner strongly in the grip of the tobacco companies? Or is it just that he is a heavy smoker? Will Blunt continue as "whip." He can't count votes, for he had declared himself the winner earlier.

" McCain was campaigning for Shadegg."

And that is probably why he lost.

How would electing Shadegg have been giving them an inch?

MSNBC is about as informed on the Republican party as al Jezeera.

He smokes like a steam engine.

Allen/Pence in '08 would make me very happy.

Boehner voted against the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act. See http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll661.xml
