__________________________________ US House Republicans elect Boehner as leader Thursday 2 February 2006, 1:52pm EST Printer Friendly | Email Article | Reprints | RSS WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Rep. John Boehner of Ohio upset a former deputy to indicted Texan Tom DeLay on Thursday to become majority leader of the scandal-rocked U.S. House of Representatives. Rep. Roy Blunt had appeared to be the front-runner, based on a long list of public commitments, but Boehner, who campaigned on a vow to seek to renew the party's "spirit and vision," defeated him and Rep. John Shadegg of Arizona in a secret election by fellow Republicans. Boehner had 122 votes to Blunt's 109. Shadegg had dropped out after a first ballot loss. http://today.reuters.com/business/ne...&imageid=&cap= __________________ "If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards.
