Boehner wins, to no one's surprise

House Majority Leader John Boehner just announced that he won re-election in a news release e-mailed to reporters. He's reportedly in Washington right now.

“I am grateful and humbled by the support from my friends, neighbors, and constituents here in southwest Ohio. I want to thank the voters in the Eighth District for their support, and I look forward to continuing to serve on your behalf in Congress.

“We’ve made a lot of progress in our efforts to keep America prosperous, spend taxpayer dollars wisely, secure our borders, and strengthen national security – but we have a long way to go. I promise to keep up the fight, and will continue to work towards a smaller, less costly, more accountable federal government.”

Boehner, a West Chester Republican who represents most of Butler County, still doesn't know if he gets to keep his other job - the job of being majority leader, that is. News networks are projecting that Democrats will take the U.S. House.
