A deputy to former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), Boehner is expected to bring a new style to the leader’s post after pledging during the campaign to involve more members in the legislative process and to offer an olive branch of sorts to House Democrats.Boehner has long been considered DeLay’s chief rival, and he pledged during his campaign to renew many of the ideals that characterized the so-called Republican Revolution spear-headed by Gingrich.
Doesn't sound to bad to me.
It does when you leave that part out, though, doesn't it? :-)
Silly you - you put the line of the article in context so it would make more sense. Now you've ruined the imagined hysteria people were wanting to create around here.
"A deputy to former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), Boehner is expected .... to offer an olive branch of sorts to House Democrat."
This is the writer's view, not a quote from Boehner. Let's wait and see. He sounds ok to me so far.
