I hope so too, but she may instead just be propping him up to continue on well into the future. Boehner, Steal, Cornyn, McConnell have ALL failed, and none of them should keep their leadership positions past November.

How did Bohner fail? He wasn't speaker of the house or even whip when the GOP lost them. That was Hastert and Delay, who are both already gone. Bohner came in to lead a GOP minority that was 50 votes shy of majority. Given this I think he's done a superb job of keeping Nancy and the Donks off base, slowing down their rush to socialism, and basically doing what a minority leader does.

Now the House is going to swing wildly to the GOP. I'd say he deserves some of the credit. For the life of me I can't uderstand the "Failed" comment.

The same is even MORE TRUE of McConnell. He had a fillibuster-proof Dem majority opposed to us. Despite this he managed to flumox Harry Reid over and over again, delyaing votes, finding the one Dem traitor needed to scuttle Harry's dingy plans. A weak hand very well played, in my opinion.

Boehner also made a very good speech a while back: Boehner Contra Obamacare, March 2010
