Gotta love Louis Gohmert. He stuck his neck out and nominated former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to replace Boehner as Speaker of the House today. Sadly, not a single Republican seconded the motion and it died. And so did our hopes of ousting Boehner:
THE HILL Former Speaker and failed presidential candidate Newt Gingrich was nominated for the position of Speaker on Wednesday by conservative Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas). There was no second.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was nominated for another term by sometime-rival Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.). Boehner in turn nominated Cantor.

Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Brit Hume, and the three freaks of FAUX and friends were very instrumental in Newt losing momentum after South Carolina, especially Hume who of course blamed his sons suicide on Gingrich. . Will never forget their constant drumbeat “Romney is the onnnnnnllllllyyyyyyyy one who can beat Obama.” That worked........
“Cantor sat on the Petraeus scandal until after the election.”
In my eyes that makes Cantor a Democrat!
