The Hotline has more on what Rep. Roy Blunt is saying about his Minority Whip race and Speaker to be Nancy Pelosi.
Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), on the minority whip's race: "Many Democrats that were elected on Tuesday ran as Republicans, essentially, at home. They just said they were better than the Republican they were running against. The right kind of whip operation won't allow that to happen. When you look at any criticisms of leadership in the last few years, I don't think there's ever been one of how the majority whip's operation ran."
On reports he should step down and let Eric Cantor take the job: "I don't know about that. I know he's helping me win. He's running my campaign. He's a great friend of mine. I'm glad I brought him into the whip team as my deputy. I think Eric Cantor is going to be the whip in the House someday, maybe the speaker of the House someday. But right now we're working together to get this job done."
Asked if he'll be able to work with Pelosi: "We'll see" ("Situation Room," CNN, 11/14).

The way Roy(Howdy Doody)Blunt is claiming he was an effective whip is perfect example of his total lack of principle. What does he think about Delay, Foley, Cunningham, and others who were his buddy's?
