Who Shall Lead the House?
George Will has an interesting take on who should take Tom Delay's place as House Majority Leader. The candidates are Roy Blunt and John Boehner. He suggests looking at one salient fact:

Roy Blunt of Missouri, the man who was selected, not elected, to replace DeLay, is a champion of earmarks as a form of constituent service. If, as one member says, "the problem is not just DeLay but 'DeLay Inc.' " Blunt is not the solution. So far -- the field may expand -- the choice for majority leader is between Blunt and John Boehner of Ohio. A salient fact: In 15 years in the House, Boehner has never put an earmark in an appropriations or transportation bill.

Well that was easy. I know who I want.
