BARNES: What's "The Buzz," Mort?
KONDRACKE: Laura Whittington, one of our ace reporters at Roll Call, had a story last week indicating that if the Republicans lose 15 to 20 seats this year, John Boehner, the Leader, and Roy Blunt, the Whip, will be out as leaders and will probably be replaced by Eric Cantor, who is now the Chief Deputy Whip, and Adam Putnam, the Republican Conference Chair.
BARNES: That makes sense.
KONDRACKE:Young Turks.
BARNES: Young guns, as they call them. If that happens — and heaven knows Republicans could lose a lot of seats — they will be joined somehow in the leadership, because there are three other of the brightest, smartest young Republicans, Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the policy guy; Kevin McCarthy, a freshman from California; and Jeb Hensarling of Texas, who is the head of the Republican Study Committee. It will give the Republicans one heck of a new face, no question, if it happens.
KONDRACKE: That's it for "The Beltway Boys" this week. Join us next week when the boys will be back in town.
