I imagine that’s the contrast Shadegg is implicitly trying to set up here between himself and Blunt. Shadegg has put everything on the line by announcing he will give up his current leadership position to go for majority leader. Blunt wants still to be whip if he loses the majority leader race (which he had locked up Tuesday night, remember). That creates the impression for some members that for Blunt it’s all about what job he can get–if he can’t get a promotion, he will cling to his current spot with all his might.
