Today's Leadership Election in the U.S. House: Where is Rep. Latourette...

Here is a picture of U.S. Rep. John Boehner giving an acceptance speech after being elected Speaker of the House for the Congress that will be seated in Jan 2011.  In the Front row are Republican members from Ohio's delegation, for instance, Jim Rennaci.

Hmmmmm.  Where Steve Latourette?  Why wasn't Latourette elected leadership?  Why isn't Latourette in the front row with the Ohio delegation? Hmmmmm.

Over at Cleveland.com today Latourette is quoted:

“Ohio not only has a seat at the table, Ohio is the owner of the table and invites other people to the table to have the discussion,” said Bainbridge Township GOP Rep. Steve LaTourette. “Policy for the nation, at least in the House, is going to be set in Ohio.

Why isn't Latourette getting a prime committee chairmanship?

Hope those were good times Rep. Latourette!  You cost yourself a leadership role.  No one but you.
