No Rand Paul or Marco Rubio. Could have been better, but could have been a lot worse.
However....the Tea Party will likely be livid with most of the choices in the House. This might actually be the nail in the coffin for Boehner's speakership. The fact that he put three establishment members on the panel and two of whom (Camp and Upton) are in the Republican Main Street Partnership caucus, a group that has been derided by hard-right conservatives as the mark of a RINO (Republican In Name Only)...it's kind of a slap in the face to the House Tea Party caucus.
From the Senate:
John Kyl (R-AZ)
Pat Toomey (R-PA)
Rob Portman (R-OR)
From the House:
Jeb Hensarling (R-TX)
Dave Camp (R-MI)
Fred Upton (R-MI)
Toomey: Holder of Arlen Specter's old seat. Tea Partier and hardcore right-winger. You pick an issue, his position is hard to the right.
Portman: Bush's US Trade Representative. Actually somewhat moderate. Guess this counts as their "compromise" appointment.
Kyl: Don't even get me started. I threw up in my mouth when I saw his name in the list. This is the same guy who flat-out lied on the Congressional floor, then when called on it, had a spokesperson state that the Senator's remark was "not intended to be a factual statement".
Hensarling: Establishment conservative. Potential rival to Bachmann within the GOP in terms of jockeying for some leadership positions. Opposed the TARP program, opposed the bank bailout.
Camp: House Ways and Means chair. Slightly moderate establishment member.
Upton: House Energy and Commerce chair. Social conservative (introduced the 2006 Video Game Decency Act), but slightly moderate on financial issues.
