Things have been a tad...uncomfortable in House Republicanville over the last few weeks, and yesterday's "deal" only exacerbated the tension. With the 113th Congress set to take the reins tomorrow, the lower chamber's GOP conference will reportedly gather this evening to discuss their leadership situation. Depending on who you believe, either Boehner is calmly assured that he has the votes to be re-elected as Speaker...

An aide to House Speaker John Boehner tells National Review Online that the Ohio Republican is �confident� that he�ll win Thursday�s leadership election. �The speaker constantly keeps in touch with members,� the aide explains. �They know him, he listens to them, and he expects to have their support tomorrow.� Boehner�s senior team is also unaware of any potential challenge, even though there have been rumors of a backbench rebellion. �Members are united behind the speaker,� the aide says. �They know that he has worked hard to represent their interests in the recent negotiations.�

If the Weeper of the House had one ounce of class, he would be hanging by a rope after tendering his resignation tonight. He was an absolute disaster his entire term as leader. This last move just damaged the GOP brand for generations. They are now the Tax and Spend party and the Rats will have all the ammunition in the world to claim so legitimately.

If the House GOP members had any sense, which they don't, they would replace Boner with a nondescript, quiet Rep like Denny Hastert to run things. A chain smoking crybaby with an orange hue is a laughing stock right off the mark with the voting public. He has a worse approval than Pelosi for crying out loud. Enough with these dopes.

My new Congressman will vote against Boehner. Interesting article...Stockman is the guy who beat long term Dem Congressman Jack Brooks years ago...and got beat himself after one term. Now he has been re-elected.
