I'm still trying to wrap my head around the pluses and minuses of the two frontrunning candidates for the Republican's next Majority Leader. One issue I certainly wanted to understand was their position on pork, and so I headed over to Citizen's Against Government Waste to check how they were rated. Here's how they stacked up:

John Boehner: 75% positive score for the 108th congress

Roy Blunt: 65% positive score for 108th congress

So: both candidates make it into CAGW's "friendly" category, but neither are lighting up the sky as blazing stars of Porkbusting.

Any chance we can throw these two back in the pond and ask for a do-over...?

Update: Can't throw these two back, but now there is an Option C:

John Shadegg: 97% positive score for the 108th congress
