DREIER'S FUTURE?
Dan Weintraub reports that The Washington Times has caught up with Rick Henderson and is speculating that David Dreier might challenge Barbara Boxer.
But, asked several readers when I first blogged this, why would he leave a secure House seat and the chairmanship of the Rules Committee for an uncertain Senate run? One possible answer: If he loses, he can always run for Congress again, and the party would remember that he'd done Republicans a big favor.
The Times piece speculates about several alternative Dreier futures, including as successor to Jack Valenti.
