Inside The Numbers III: The Club
One of the earliest and loudest supporters off the Hill for Rep. John Shadegg's (R-AZ) bid for Maj Leader was The Club for Growth.
But has their endorsement translated into Shadegg endorsements from some of The Club's closest allies in the House?
Not yet.
Of the 17 Club-endorsed GOPers from '04 currently serving in the House, only 2 are publicly backing the AZ'an: Rep's Jeff Flake (AZ) and Connie Mack (FL).
5 are with Roy Blunt: Rep's Gohmert (TX), Westmoreland (GA), Jindal (LA), Poe (TX) and McHenry (NC).
2 have endorsed John Boehner: Rep's McMorris (WA) and Sessions (TX).
Now we know that some of Shadegg's supporters (the names Ryan, Pence and Hensarling jump to mind) are Club-friendly, but of those members they endorsed in '04, 8 are still holding out. Or are they?
What say you Rep's Musgrave (C0), Lungren (CA), Price (GA), Sodrel (IN), Inglis (SC), Drake (VA) and DeLay (TX)?








You're (sort of) forgetting Club-supported John Campbell (2005), the successor to Chris Cox.
