Politics or Principles for New GOP

This is from the Union Leader:

Republicans need to elect Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana, their minority leader. Head of the Republican Study Committee, Pence is a principled, well-respected conservative who would provide exactly the sort of leadership for which the party is so desperate...Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz., is running for minority whip. Like Pence, Shadegg is essentially a Washington outsider. He understands the message voters sent last Tuesday. "(W)e've got to send a signal to the American people that we get it," he told the Wall Street Journal's editorial board last week. "We have to change."

Keeping the current House Republican leaders in their posts will show voters that Republicans don't "get it."

I agree. These names came up during the last leadership vote, after Tom Delay resigned. They were rejected and so went our last chance to win the election. It's time to stop the liberal type spending and bring real reform in Congress.

Update: Never mind.

Update: James Taranto says "who better to lead the GOP minority than the men who helped create it?"
