Boehner Backs Down In Power Struggle Over NRCC

A couple days back we brought you the news that GOP House leader John Boehner was locked in a power struggle with NRCC chief Tom Cole over the direction of the NRCC, amid signs that the committee's strategists were in deep denial over just how bad the 2008 map looks for the GOP. Boehner was moving to oust two strategists he deemed responsible for the problems.

Well, now it looks as if Boehner has backed down from his confrontation with Cole. Temporarily, anyway. Many Republicans are still saying that the financial and political problems run so deep at the NRCC that more public feuding is all but inevitable. Full story here.

John "Small Price" Boehner wanted to head the NRCC and take on it's woeful fundraising problems? And the belief is that these woeful fundraising totals are due to immigration? I'm sorry he's stepping back from this. Such competence would only bode well for the Democrats.
