There is going to be a race for Speaker of the House, Breitbart News has learned, and current House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will not be a shoo-in to replace outgoing Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH).
While McCarthy is still the odds-on favorite to win, he is likely to face a serious and credible challenge from a conservative who can beat him, Breitbart News has learned. If McCarthy is going to end up with the speakership after this long and protracted battle, he is going to need to make serious concessions to the conservative side of the House GOP conference. But as conservatives mobilize and organize, they have proven now that they have the power to deny anyone the speakership–and could blow up McCarthy’s move if he doesn’t cooperate with them and shift the power to someone more palatable.
....
Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL), a conservative who previously challenged Boehner, has announced he is running against McCarthy. But another conservative with even more juice in the GOP conference—someone with enough credibility to beat McCarthy—is waiting in the wings and seems to be taking the temperature of the conference to see if Republicans will coalesce behind an entirely fresh, new leadership team.

30 days is a lot of time to bake this cake.
Deck chairs — Titanic.
McCarthy, NO!
MARSHA BLACKBURN!!!
A conservative would be nice and that is not McCarthy.
It's not clear whether this is Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) or not.
Now that Boe-hunkus has made his time we will see the Rat side of him in full view.
He has no reason to play-act as conservative anymore (like he was convincing anyway)
Herr Muslime will be pleased indeed.
Yep
Exactly what is needed and required. This era has been an unmitigated disaster. No one with any fingerprints on the dead carcass on the side of the road known as the NRCC or the Boehner team will be any better.
When the head coach is fired, the assistants are rarely kept or moved to the top.
Why would he even be a shoo-in in the first place? Is this because he is next most senior there? Seniority isn’t a requirement for the job. If he ever had anything to do with Boehner with regard to helping him, then I’d say hell no.
LOUIE LOUIE!!!!
MARSHA !!! MARSHA !!! MARSHA !!!
:)
Keep your eye on Majority Leader too, and they want this done quick.
We don't need a speaker that is going to give us concessions. We need someone who is already in our corner.
A promise from an establishment crony is nothing better than Taqiya.
McCarthy is left of Boehner.
It better be someone at least a little bit consertvative
JOHN!!! JOHN!!! JOHN!!!
Go right. Go way right!
MARSHA BLACKBURN!!!
I agree.
She’s a solid conservative and a female to better reach the “confused” women searching for a reason to reject leftism.
She’s very good on TV with clear, concise comments.
