Can someone educate Freepers on Rep. Blackburn's positions if she's going to be a candidate to oppose Boehner?

I found this on Wikipedia: “In November 2007, she ran for the position of Republican Conference chair, but lost. She joined Mitt Romney's presidential campaign as a senior advisor. In May 2007, she resigned her position in the Romney campaign and endorsed former U.S. senator Fred Thompson for president.”

That's not necessarily a red flag, but it does raise questions which should be answered.

On the positive side, she appears to have solid social conservative credentials despite her early support for Romney: “She is Presbyterian and her church, Christ Presbyterian Church, is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America. She is a member of The C Street Family, a prayer group that includes members of Congress.”

“If our Repubs can’t even stand up to Boehner how are we supposed to believe they will confront Obama?”

Excellent point. Because we know from their actions, they can’t or won’t oppose Obama.
