House Majority Leader results

After the 231 ballots were counted in the first round of voting, there was nobody who had won a majority to take Tom DeLay's place. What? There are only 222 Republicans in the House? You're right. And The Carpetbagger Report talks about how the first vote for this leadership position was apparently corrupted by extra votes. What does that say about the GOP? Either they are cheaters or they can't count too well.

In any case, after the second non-corrupt vote John Boehner became the new GOP House Majority Leader. I'm not going to make any boner jokes because I'm pretty sure its pronounced BAY-ner, but I still got a chuckle. It was also funny that it came down to Boehner vs. Blunt. Its too bad Blunt lost because he was pretty corrupt too.
