Not possible, the R' NOMINATE one person and the D' another. What we are asking for is for the R's to NOMINATE someone other then the weepy Boner for the vote for speaker.
My prediction is that Boner will win with some Demoncrats voting for him. The press will herald that Boner is the first speaker elected with bipartisan support.
That vote was last year, and Boehner won it. The upcoming vote includes all of the House and it is for the selection of the Speaker.
By the way, does anyone know when this vote is scheduled? Monday?
What I was thinking is that if the conservatives are really serious they might declare themselves as "independents".
They might then be in a position of forcing the GOPe to negotiate with them for the independent vote or lose the speakership to Pelosi. It would be a high stakes game of chicken. Careers would be on the line, but it would let us know what is real and what is just theatrics for the folks back home.
