Before attacking Boehner too much this is from Politico who has been trying to split Republicans. I am not defending but saying before careful of Politico. Boehner was on Friday defending Wilson and saying he apologized once which was enough.

Agreed. Look at the source of these claims. I AM intrigued at the possibility of Mike Pence in this leadership position in the future. The only problem with him would be..... does have the ability to do any "arm-twisting"? Pence DOES have good instincts, though. He was out in the forefront on not voting for the original bank bailouts under Bush when everyone else was caving. Last summer, he helped lead the Republicans sitting in a dark house debating/discussing the rising cost of energy. And he scheduled his appearance at the 9/12 rally before anyone knew how big it would be. He's a voice that others in the Republican party should listen to more.

I am intrigued by Pence as well. I just happened to see the press conference of Boehner last Friday backing Wilson completely and telling how he had apologized to the WH. Then I saw it was Politico and said “figures.”

I get Pence’s emails from his position as Chair of the Republican Conference and am impressed. He is part of leadership and sends out some really good press releases that never see the light of day except in email.
