“After McCarthy reported back”

Whiplash McCarthy is like some kind of Soviet spy.

What this tells us is that Ted Cruz has become the leader of the party in less than a year! He took office on January 3, 2013 and has leapfrogged the seniority.
The conservative loyalists in the House have rallied around his banner, and the dithering caucus of populist chasers have seen which way the wind is blowing.

I will echo Napolitano (Judge, not carpet-eater) in saying Boehner will be out soon. A Cruz ally will take his place.

Now there's another guy that would be a great Speaker of the House :)

Yessiree....Pubbie leadership is changing as we watch. Looking back, it was bound to happen, as nature doesn't like a vacuum, and that's how "Republican leadership" is best described. There was none.

Someone had to step into the void, and Ted has the spirit to do it. Conservatives in the senate and the house can sense it and are climbing on. 5 years of Obama will make you do that.
