According to ABC News, Dan Lundgrun, a Republican representative from California, will be challenging John Boehner on his leadership position.  I like John Boehner, I think his actions last summer to push through a drilling bill were great–but, unfortunately, although he increased the awareness of many Americans on the issue, he achieved no visible results.  The Democrats caved on the issue, but if Barack Obama follows through on what he has said, he will reinstate the ban on offshore exploration.  I think John Boehner has done a reasonable job, but I think in view of the last election and the general lack of backbone in our Republican representatives that it is time for a change.  I do agree with Representative Lundgrun that competition improves things.  Hopefully, this race will cause house Republicans to restate their principles and define them more clearly.  This would be a good thing for everyone.
