POLITICO
-- Boehner's GOP fix: A new committee - Patrick O'Connor
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10182.html
-- FROM THE ARTICLE: "Republicans are working to clear the field in two House contests in upstate New York, coalescing behind two candidates that the party establishment believes are best-equipped to hold on to the seats of retiring Reps. Jim Walsh and Tom Reynolds. With more than five months to go until the Republican primaries, both Walsh and Reynolds have endorsed their preferred candidates within the past week. The strategy is in stark contrast to what transpired in recent special elections in Louisiana and Illinois, where divisive primaries hurt the eventual nominees and contributed to GOP losses." - Josh Kraushaar
