I understand that the house votes for leader on Jan 16. If a sufficient number of conservatives just don’t vote .then the house will have no leader for a year. To be elected leader you have to have 217 votes . Pelosi wont ever get there and if we can get 20 abstentions neither does boo hoo boehner. I would rather have no leader than Boo Hoo.

Ditto! Find someone with balls who believes in individual liberty and the Constitution above everything else!

I believe the number is 16.

We need to start taking names now. Get pledges from congressmen that they will not vote for Boehner as speaker.

Someone needs to put up a blog or running list maintaining who is and is not on board.

Cantor would be the de facto leader until a Speaker vote would be held; which might be all of 18 minutes since if you could get 20 conservatives to withhold from supporting Boner, the cake would be already baked; one presumes that Cantor would get the job as the barely supportable alternative...
