Conservatives remain a minority in the Boehner House, a precious commodity that must be cautious just to maintain, until they can grow their numbers. Sending more re-enforcements into the chamber in November will surely strengthen their hand.
Boehner must declare for a third term for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which has to be pressure from some of his bed pardners and chamber of commerce machine men.
After all, together with McConnell in the trusty senate, be certain of this, a plan is abreast to obliterate the Tea Party. The target of conservative wrath has been hit, with some regularity, now shocked and deeply wounded by the Cantor loss, leaving the Establishment very last gasp dangerous.
PS. What I have seen of Jim Jordan and Jacob Chaffitz, certainly Trey Gowdy, is a vision of action over rhetoric. They are leading in the House by example.
Pete Sessions TX needs to be kept away from power at all cost.

Well said. The GOPe can launch a full-on assault against the Tea Party knowing that it has the liberal media and Chamber of Commerce squarely behind it.
IMHO the Tea Party is wasting its time trying operate within the Republican Party. The GOP has deeply intrenched interests with significant financial resources that are just too great to overcome. Those forces are and always will be proponents and beneficiaries of BIG GOVERNMENT. Attempting to take over or influence the party just isn’t going to happen.
