Below is a list of the members most likely to replace him.

Sez who exactly?

Tear up THAT list and start again.

[odawg]

I am familiar with Steve Scalise and Paul Ryan. From the frying pan into the fire.

[mrsmith]

Hensarling has the tools, think he was going to challenge McCarthy last time.
Pete Sessions has been mentioned too. You don’t get the Chair of the Rules Committee without some pull.

[Cowboy Bob]

I’m going to wait until the NY Times and Salon tell me who I should support! /sarc

[Jim Noble]

How about Augusto Pinochet?

Oh, yeah, I forgot...

But, you catch my drift...

[1010RD]

Hensarling needs our support. He’s from Texas which is the biggest delegation.

He’s solid: http://ballotpedia.org/Jeb_Hensarling and from a strong GOP district.

Look at his opposition to the bailout. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Hensarling#Voting_record

Call his office and tell him you want him to run for Speaker.

Expect the GOPe to be against him.

[1010RD]

He’s my top pick. He’s not likely to get pushed around as he’s in a solid GOP district, plus he’s got a great conservative record.

Tom Price is my Representative. He's not bad, but not quite a "Leader". I've never been particularly impressed by him. His history is one of sticking with the GOP establishment.

[Ray76]

Yeah exactly. That list is lame.

[Timber Rattler]

Gohmert! Accept no other!

[gleeaikin]

Which do you think might favor/allow a government shutdown and which might not?

[Timber Rattler]

Scalise is a worm.

[EternalVigilance]

Steve King of Iowa.

I don’t agree with Steve on everything, but he has the capacity and the vision for the job.

[9YearLurker]

The wrong Sessions—especially on illegal immigration!

[Ben Mugged]

I suggest Michael Burgess member of the Republican Party and Tea Party caucus, Burgess is considered to be a conservative member of the House of Representatives. Through 2011, he had a lifetime rating of 93.59 percent from the American Conservative Union. He is a member of the House Energy Subcommittee on Energy and Power.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Where did McCarthy rank - as a democrat? 8<)

[1010RD]

Tell us who you support and you’ll have to get a guy as conservative as Hensarling who has the GOPe ear, plus the support of conservatives. It’s not all or nothing, but more or less. Welcome to politics 101.
