Another reason to come the cocktail party is that we will be caucusing to elect a new NR majority leader. A commitment to reform is a must, but–given this NR crowd–close ties to Altria will also be a plus. In honor of John Boehner, we will be smoking and drinking, and in the spirit of this whole process, of course, lying and stabbing each other in the back. KJL will be posting live updates on The Corner boosting her favorite dark horse candidate (Stuttaford?), who isn’t in the race yet, but we hope will declare soon. Don’t miss it!
