Among Tea Party Republicans, No One Wants to Lead - Businessweek

.. and Rep Pete Sessions from Texas!!
Among Tea Party Republicans, No One Wants to Lead - Businessweek: "There are any number of Tea Party-friendly hardliners who would fit the bill: Paul Ryan, Jeb Hensarling, Tom Price, Jim Jordan. But one by one, all of them are begging off the race. Ryan says he has no interest. Price is focused on succeeding Ryan as Budget Committee chairman. Jordan told his local newspaper that he won’t run for a leadership spot. And just this morning, the hardliners’ preferred candidate, Hensarling, who appeared to be a legitimate possibility to knock off Kevin McCarthy, the establishment’s pick for majority leader, announced that he won’t run either. This is a huge blow to conservatives’ chances of taking over leadership. And for the second time, it’s because none of their leaders seems to want the job."
