McCrery's Chances for Ways and Means Chair Increases

Jim McCrery is on the House Ways and Means Committee and the Chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee. From today's Washington Post:
Rep. Jim McCrery (La.) : McCrery took a major gamble by supporting Boehner [for House Majority Leader], as backing the wrong horse probably would have cost him the Ways and Means Committee chairmanship when Rep. Bill Thomas (Calif.) is term-limited out of the post after this Congress. Boehner's victory strengthens McCrery's status as the front-runner for the powerful chairmanship come 2007, assuming the GOP keeps its majority this fall.
