Boehner, Blunt Rally The Troops

The new leadership of House Republicans, in a joint appearance, pledged to put aside their differences and move aggresively to restore confidence in Congress.

New Majority Leader John Boehner called the race "well-fought." Boehner: "I think what you're going to see us rededicate yourself to the issues that the American people expect us to deal with."

He then introduced "Our whip and my friend, Roy Blunt."

Said Blunt, "These are the hardest kinds of competition. They take friends who work closely work ... and make [the] members face tough choices. I have great confidence in the capacity of our memebrs to figure out what the country needs."

Tomorrow, the new House GOP leadership team will meet in Speaker Dennis Hastert's office to discuss the legislative agenda.
