According to John Boehner’s office, here’s the new leadership team for House Republicans.
Republican Leader: John A. Boehner of Ohio
Republican Whip: Eric Cantor of Virginia
Republican Conference Chairman: Mike Pence of Indiana
Republican Policy Committee Chairman: Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan
Republican Conference Vice-Chair: Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington
Republican Conference Secretary: John Carter of Texas
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman: Pete Sessions of Texas
This looks like a pretty good slate for us, especially Cantor, Pence and Sessions.
Or am I misremembering regarding Sessions? In any case, he is going to have the most important job of all. Can we get him to be a regular here during the next 2 years?

The real house conservatives have faith in him

The losses in the house had more to do with a combo of Bush hate by indies and McCain hate by the base than anything Boehner or the House Republicans did.
