Hopefully, many of the “undecideds” will wait for the actual vote, and will stampede against Boehner if the “nos” pass a threshold. Last time, the threshold wasn’t reached, so many who said they would vote no chickened out.

Boehner and his people are pretty ruthless, and are demanding that they promise to support him before the vote, “or else”. But this gambit might not work, because Boehner has proven that he does not keep *his* promises, so there is no reason for any of the others to keep theirs.

It *never* violates your “core values” to depose a bully.

Yoho was on Fox and Friends a little while ago and said that while they have 13 who’ve publically stated now, they have been receiving a lot of phone calls from members saying they won’t vote for Boehner. Hope there are more than 16 that are not releasing public statements but will make their statement by supporting Gohmert on the House floor today. IIRC the vote starts at noon DC time.
