| Description | John Boehner of Ohio won re-election as Republican leader of the House of Representatives on Friday -- 10 days after American voters turned over control of the legislative body to Democrats.
In a secret tally, House Republicans stuck with Boehner and rejected a challenge by Mike Pence of Indiana, an arch conservative. Pence had argued the party had lost its way in a year that saw it battered by the Iraq war, mounting federal deficits and congressional scandals.
While victorious, Boehner has said the party needs to return to its core conservative principles of limited government, personal responsibility and reform.
Boehner was first elected Republican leader in January to replace Tom DeLay of Texas, who stepped aside after being indicted on campaign finance charges. |
