With John Boehner receiving low marks from both moderates and conservatives over his handling of the now- resolved government shutdown and debt-ceiling battles, discussion is rife over whether any fellow House Republican will challenge him as speaker.

Though the conventional wisdom is that the wily Ohioan will survive, there is enough residual anger to make his continued hold on the position something less than a foregone conclusion.

Great choices for Speaker nomination:

1. Walter Williams
2. Thomas Sowell
3. Rush Limbaugh - to really piss em off.
4. Tom DeLay - again, piss off factor.
5. Ted Cruz - no reason he can’t be Speaker. Liberal heads explode.
6. Sarah Palin - really have liberal heads explode.

Remember anyone can be nominated as Speaker, doesn’t have to be a current serving House member.

Boehner needs to be kicked out of the speakership.He’s not effective pushing the Conservative message.He’s there for his own benefit and right now that’s something we don’t need.Boehner has to GO.

He’s not going anywhere. He has the support of the caucus now. It’s disgusting. He has destroyed the party along with Mitch.

He gave the gavel to Nancy Pelosi once. He never should have had a second chance to.

Boehner may have the support of his caucus but come Election Day the party will be over.

Unless the Tea Party becomes a force to be reckoned with the conservatives will stay home.Why go vote for a party that won’t support you?

I am so angry about this.

The Soviet Union just won the Cold War posthumously.

Wily Ohioan?

Why is he only wily when fighting his own? He has NEVER displayed an ounce of wiliness when facing Pelosi, Reid or Obama - whinyness yes, wiliness no.
