Meet The New Boss...

House Republicans have chosen their new Majority Leader-

AP: Rep. Boehner Elected House Majority Leader
Rep. John Boehner of Ohio was elected House majority leader Thursday to replace indicted Rep. Tom DeLay.

Boehner defeated fellow Republican Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, 122-109, after lagging behind his rival in a first, inconclusive ballot...

Better a Boehner than a Blunt, I suppose.

By the way- The reason the first ballot was 'inconclusive'? According to Roll Call:
"The first count showed more votes cast than Republicans present at the Conference meeting."

Oops. Looks like someone tried to pull a Diebold.
