Rep. Kingston's Blunt Talk With Bloggers
Rep. Jack Kingston held a conference call with bloggers yesterday to tout the candidacy of Roy Blunt for House majority leader. Tim Chapman of Townhall.com participated in Kingston's blog call and has the details at Capitol Report.
Missouri's Blunt is battling John Boehner of Ohio in the race to replace Texan Tom DeLay, whose ethics woes prompted him to resign as majority leader last week. As a blogger himself (both on his congressional site and at the group blog RedState), Georgia's Kingston is a good emissary to the blogosphere on Blunt's behalf.
But the latest numbers from National Journal's Hotline On Call show that the courtship of conservative bloggers, some of whom had hoped "blawgmaker" Mike Pence of Indiana would join the race, may not be necessary. Blunt has a commanding lead in the contest.
