But John Boehner, the Ohio rep and current number two under Hastert who is running against Pence for that post, says he's the man to help Republicans restore the principles they embraced in 1994, since he was one of the authors of the original Contract with America.

Sorry Boehner, you're part of the wallpaper in D.C. and part of why we lost on Tuesday. Whatever you did in 1994 did nothing for us in 2006. You certainly didn't bring any of that 1994 spirit into your time as majority leader so why should I think you will do so moving forward? Time for new blood. You're out, Mike Pence in.

I don't want Pence after his betrayal of Tancredo on illegal immigration...

I like the idea of Pence in there but Boehner had exactly four months in that spot. It's hardly fair to put it all on him.
