A Boehner "Get"
ShareWe were impressed by Blunt reeling in the support of a rising House star with his fix set on the NRCC. Now Boehner has nailed down an NRCC wannabe of his own.
A source close to Boehner tells The Hotline that Rep. Pete Sessions (TX) has joined Team Boehner.
The 5th-termer from the "Big D" knocked off his Rules Cmte colleague, ex-Rep. Martin Frost (TX), in what was the most expensive House race in the country in '04, and has made clear his ambitions to run the campaign cmte.
So with Cole supporting Blunt, and Sessions backing Boehner, who wins the rubber match and lands the endorsement of Rep. Phil English (PA), the third GOPer interested in taking over the reigns at the NRCC?
