And Then There Were Three

Over at the Plank today, Michael Crowley reports on US Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ari) joining the race with Blunt and Boehner for the Republican conference majority leader position left vacant by Delay.

Shadegg is trying to play himself as the clean one in the bunch. Kinda tough to do that when you compromise your fiscal conservative principles on one of the biggest legislative votes in the past few years just to impress none other than Tom Delay and friends. See Crowley's report for the details.
