Just heard on CNBC that Jeb Hensarling won’t run for Cantor’s spot. Sucks if McCarthy gets it..

dammit. If no conservative makes a real run here, we need to make it clear to our reps we may just be busy in early November. Washing our hair that day, couldn’t make it to the polls.

It’s clear the pressure from the party is on to squash anyone who’s not already on the hook of the Chamber and other special interests. This is party suicide, the sequel.

McCarthy (or another of Boehner’s RINOs) may well get it. Conservatives in the Republican House caucus likely have not yet achieved the critical mass needed to get these leadership posts. That may well change after the November 2014 election when conservative reinforcements will be arriving (and some RINOs and faux conservatives such as Cantor will be leaving/retiring).

Hensarling is trying to get the speaker position later this year.
