"Hrrmph! More business-as-usual on Capitol Hill :("
Actually Rep. John Boehner is not Republican Establishment guy. He has NEVER asked for an earmark. He has a long history of fighting the good Conservative fight. Since McCain backed Shadegg I suspect Boehner is actually the better Conservative choice.
Disagree. McCain is trying to warm up to conservatives. Shadegg would have been a lot better, but I really can't complain as I'm just breathing a big sigh of relief that it's not Blunt.
Easy to wonder whether that's WHY Mc endorsed Shadegg.
