Anyone know if Roskam got Whip?

[leapfrog0202]

“The day’s second election, to succeed McCarthy as party whip, remained an unpredictable three-way competition among Reps. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, Peter Roskam of Illinois and Marlin Stutzman of Indiana.

The new leaders will govern for only 12 legislative days between when Cantor officially calls it quits on July 31 and November’s midterm elections.

Congress is off most of August and October.”

12 days of work between when Cantor steps down and the election in Nov???? Good heavens, how can we expect them to work this hard?

Roskam was defeated by Scalise of Louisiana for Whip. Both are quite faithful lackeys of Boehner/Cantor/McCarthy and of the Shameless Chambers of Commerce school of selling out conservatives. Henry Hyde would be quite disappointed in Roskam.
