I think Pence is a good guy for the job - but I am sorry, Shadegg wont be able to get the job done.

Why not? Not to argue the point, but to get an understanding.

You are from Missouri, are you in Blunt's corner over Shadegg because of a 'home team' preference.

Here is what I heard Major Garrett say on Laura INgraham this am and IMHO it makes sense: The new GOP leadership has to remove all vestiges of the Tom Delay 'regime' to get back on an ethical track.
1. Boehner will survive because he's been in only since January. He had butted heads against delay back in 1998 and was kicked out of leadership back then because of it.
2. Blunt was a Delay protege. Blunt refused to bend on earmarks in January when it was time to seriously reform it.
Shadegg was ahead of the curve and Shadegg is all about getting back to conservative principles and issues.
