Should a debt deal go sour, the buzz is that Tom Price, a 58-year-old physician from Georgia, may challenge John Boehner for the speakers gavel.
Price is the person were all watching, says an aide close to House leadership. We know hes frustrated, but we dont know much else.
In an interview with National Review Online, Price wont speculate about his future, but he acknowledges his growing uneasiness. My concern is that within our conference, conservatives, who are a majority, dont have a proper platform, he says. Thats true at the leadership table and on the steering committee.

We need to do something.

My “Conservative” Congressman Patrick McHenry, NC, is part of the problem: He is one of boners men; but he tells you he is conservative.

UPDATE: Price spokesman Ryan Murphy told Breitbart News he will not challenge Boehner. “Congressman Price is not running for speaker,” Murphy said in an email. “He is focused on real solutions to get America back on track. Those solutions reside in fundamental principles that embrace individual opportunity and economic freedom.”
Thanks for posting this, Fred.
Go get him. Do SOMETHING to remove Boehner, and put in a man who won’t burst into tears.

But it takes more than guts, it takes brains and skill to win something like that and as Newt learned the hard way in 2005 any careless statements will be used as weapons against you.
“...it takes brains and skill to win ...”
Two qualities that have been shown to be sadly lacking in this election.

Price has declined.
Too bad, but then again he lost to Cathy McMorris for a lesser leadership role so it’s questionable he could beat Boner.
Sigh.
