Rep. Boehner Elected House Majority Leader

http://news.yahoo.com/fc/us/us_congress

WASHINGTON - Rep. John Boehner of Ohio was elected House majority leader Thursday to replace indicted Rep. Tom DeLay. Boehner defeated Rep. Boehner defeated fellow Republican Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, 122-109, after lagging behind his rival in a first, inconclusive ballot. The third contender -- John Shadegg of Arizona -- withdrew after finishing last in the first round of balloting. Boehner campaigned as a candidate of reform, and said his experience as chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee had demonstrated his ability to pass major legislation.

Glad Blunt was defeated.
