[Pbd.blogspot.com] PBD - Progressive Blog Digest: 09/01/2005 - 09/30/2005: [Sam Rosenfeld] Josh Marshall very likely has the correct take on why Majority Whip Roy Blunt was passed over in favor of David Dreier to take The Hammer's post -- DeLay wants a placeholder, rather than a potential power rival with his own massive lobbying network, taking the reins temporarily while he's off fighting his indictment. (There's certainly always been talk that Blunt, while remaining publicly steadfast in his support for DeLay, has also served as an unnamed source for negative news coverage of DeLay and his troubles in the last few years, though it's hard to know what truth there is to such talk.)
