Good for you. Let us never forget.
Great choice.
This doesn’t mean he’s challenging Boehner. It means he’s taking JB’s job as JB moves up.
I like her, but she’s not ready for primetime.
I hope he does well for us.
He is the true American Jew-el.
Boehner time has come and gone, he is still a lets get along guy, he has to go.
Cantor is not “trying to go around” anyone!!
Boehner as #1 is moving up from Minority Leader to Speaker of the House
Cantor as #2 is moving from Minority Whip to Majority Leader
these positions have to be confirmed by vote of the R. caucus in the House when the new Congress convenes in Jan. but I don’t think there’s any doubt that Boehner will be SOH and Cantor will be Majority Leader
no one is being displaced or challenged by Cantor running for the position of Majority Leader(whether or not one wishes for a shake-up)
The n00bies might have a whole different set of ideas.
The Freshman class will be a rather sizeable number, and they may come in with their own list of leadership candidates.
They got elected to change Washington, not to accept the status quo.
BACHMAN!
10:45 EST or CST? If EST 10:45 has come and gone. I’ve been watching FNC for the past hour and there’s been nothing about this. CNN is full of it, as usual
Pence may run for President.
That was such an opportunity last night for Boehner to be heard by so many people in the nation. Not against him shedding a tear but his message was not articulated well and the blubbering was a detraction. Get a grip man!
Yeah, right! I suppose you are giving RNC Chairman Steele a lot of credit for the pubs victory too?
Bohner is just a good old boy. The pubs needs some new leadership with fresh ideas and Bohner is not it. He is from the past. He will not challenge obamma nor the democrats. He will play to get along.
The pubs need to think of the future, if they want to add onto their victory. I like Pence too, but I’m do not thi nk he would run.
you can wish for that but there isn’t a snowball’s chance it is happening, so far as anyone knows....
Thanks, my bad.
Eric Cantor...no way, no how.
Wouldn’t be prudent!!
I agree, Boehner caught on very early that the worm had turned and jumped on board the Tea Party Train. I believe in redemption, and Boehner has been reborn, brought back to being a true Conservative.
He has my support until he shows me otherwise.
