WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A group of conservative bloggers want the Republican Party to consult with "its troops and especially its donors" in the race for House leadership positions after the G.O.P. "got its head handed to it" in Tuesday's elections. The right-leaning blog "Truth Laid Bear," joined by more than a dozen conservative bloggers, is organizing an effort to interview candidates for minority leadership posts before next week's closed-door elections.

Conservative bloggers held a call this afternoon to discuss their plan for having a voice in the races. Those participating have not unified behind a candidate, though Human Events' Rob Bluey reports that the call showed "consensus is quickly forming around Rep. Mike Pence (R.-Indiana) for minority leader and Rep. John Shadegg (R.-Arizona) for minority whip."

In January, all three candidates for Majority Leader were interviewed via conference call by bloggers, and the audio and transcripts were then posted online.
