WASHINGTON, March 2 (UPI) -- U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, is cracking down on Republican members who don't meet performance benchmarks, observers say.
Boehner, who has overseen GOP losses in key House districts in the last two election cycles, is being eyed by some party members for replacement by the younger and highly ambitious Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., the Washington publication Politico reported Monday.
