Things are moving fast. No sooner does Republican Study Group
Chair, Rep. Mike Pence, appear to weaken as a leadership candidate
than Rep. John Boehner begins to chip away at the RSC.
This morning, Rep. Gresham Barrett (SC), a member of the group,
and vice chair of the GOP class of 2004, endorsed Boehner for
leader. This is significant only in that the RSC is viewed as a
leading conservative base in the House.
The more moderate wing of the Republican caucus, most visibly
represented by the "Tuesday Group" intends to hold interviews with
both Boehner and Blunt and whomever else might choose to run for
the slot at the end of the month.
