From politicalwire.com:
"There is no doubt" Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) "is quietly enlisting support from fellow House Republicans to elect him as majority leader in January," Robert Novak reports. "The question is whether" Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY) "is campaigning to be majority whip."
"Reports of a Boehner-Reynolds ticket have circulated in Washington, but Reynolds vigorously denies it. If he does run for whip, Reynolds would be accused of cutting and running from his duties as House Republican campaign chairman because of the difficult 2006 mid-term election ahead."
"A special election in January would mean House Republicans have given up on Tom DeLay getting rid of his criminal indictment in Texas in time to resume the majority leader's chair in this session of Congress. Majority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri has been acting leader."
