Help needed - who voted for Hastert as Speaker?

Is there a list somewhere of which Republics voted for Dennis Hastert as Speaker of the House?

I'm most interested in the three Republics in my state - Shays, Johnson & Simmons.

Thanks

I thought there is normally a run-off, but I guess I was wrong.

The Republicans and Democrats each choose a nominee for Speaker. Within each conference, that nominee needs to get majority support. But once the issue hits the House floor, it is a party-line vote: Dems all vote for their nominee, Republicans all vote for theirs.

But that election is held behind closed doors...

They come out of the caucus with one candidate to take to the floor....

were there any serious competitors to Hastert?

I could be wrong but it seems that after Livingston resigned, Boehner or someother midwesterner tried to take it and Hasert was suppose to be a placeholder...

He was Delay's candidate....

Source is Lou Dubose, a Texas investigative journalist with excellent credibility. I have interviewed him on The Monitor radio show (Sundays, 6 pm CST, www.kpft.org)

Given that DeLay is gone, Hastert is presumably weaker, even before this scandal broke.
