Midwestern Congressmen are wasting no time in e joining the mad march to fill former House Majority Leader Rep. Tom Delay’s (R-Texas) spot since the announcement of his resignation.
Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Missouri), the GOP whip, and Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) have both thrown their hats in the ring.
Fighting to retain the GOP’s 10-year reign of power in the House, the congressmen admitted that recent scandals will present credibility and trust issues. The challenge from Democrats will come during the elections next fall.
In the meantime, House Speaker Rep. Dennis Hastart (R-Illinois) also joined the party, pledging his proposals for extensive lobbying reform that would include stricter enforcement and penalities.
