Advance Indiana notes that Indiana’s own Mike Pence is the crucial player in the race to succeed ousted GOP House Majority Leader Tom Delay:
Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), the chairman of the House Republican Study Committee, threw his support tonight behind outsider Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) in the race to succeed Tom DeLay as House Republican Majority Leader. Pence’s support is considered pivotal, given the independence many of the more than 100 conservative members of the HRSC have shown in recent showdowns with the House GOP leadership on budgetary matters.
