“For me to be an effective congressman over the next two years it is important for me to be on the side of the elected speaker.”

Bullsh!t. 28 voted against Boehner. 29 were needed to oust him. Therefore, if she had voted against Boehner, she would have been one of the deciding votes that put a NEW and therefore ALLIED Speaker in charge.

Thus, her statement is a LIE. PERIOD.

Once again, some on here operate without full knowledge - they needed more than 29 votes to oust bonehead because many of the Demoncrats went to that funeral in NY - so, they needed more than 29 - please, people, do your homework before spewing things that aren’t factually correct.

****************

All Boehner neede to win was 50% +1 of the total votes cast for a named candidate.
There were 408 votes cast thus he needed 205 votes. He got 216 votes total.
