Whether it's the majority whip or the minority whip, this is the person who makes sure members of his or her party are rounded up for important votes; the whip also tries to make sure those members vote the way party leadership wants them to vote. The majority whip is from the party in power; the minority whip is from the party not in power. Currently (2012), the majority party in the House is the Republicans, so the majority whip would be a Republican. The party out of power is the Democrats, so the minority whip would be a Democrat.
