Cunningham And The Caucus

Two other interesting nuggets on the Cunningham resignation. With DeLay on ice, will Acting Maj Leader Blunt have increased voting sway on the GOP's Steering Cmte? DeLay's vote on the committee assignment-distributing panel was weighted to count as two votes. Speaker Hastert's vote counts as five votes and the 26 other GOPers on the cmte just have their own vote. Will Blunt take DeLay's extra vote? Who makes that decision? And what does it say for his future hopes if he does or doesn't get the extra juice?

Another interesting question to ponder is whether Appropriations Cmte Chair Jerry Lewis (R-CA) keeps Cunningham's seat in the Golden State. As mentioned earlier, there are a handful of non-CA perennial contenders for approps slots who cast vote after vote with their leadership. Will they be passed over at the chair's discretion to keep three of the coveted seats in the hands of CA GOPers?
