With J.C. Watts out, there was no longer any need for African American voter suppression within the GOP caucus. No voting machines either, (but plenty of future felons not yet disenfranchised); so instead Republicans opted for good ole ballot stuffing.

It's mildly exciting that K-street's candidate Boehner beat K-street's Blunt; there are indeed mild divisions among GOP members ("Should we screw poor blacks or poor Mexicans this year?" "Should we give more tax dollars to Pharma, Oil, or Confederate wapons-welfare?"). But as long as the GOP controls the House, the American people are always the losers. GOP attempts to interpret this as a housecleaning or a first sign of reform prior to November are simply laughable.

Gallows humor from Josh's readers:

Says TPM Reader JP: "This is priceless. They try to steal their own elections!"

TPM Reader JW is even more biting: "That's right, the Repubs are so corrupt they can't even hold an honest INTERNAL election..."
