“If Pelosis caucus votes for Boehner its over.”
He’d look like - and be - a pretty weak speaker if the ‘opposing’ party was the one that got him in.
Anyone would be embarrassed to take the speakership that way, one would hope.

Boehner hates Louie Gohmert worse than any Democrat. This is going to be a grudge match, and I hope the gentleman from Texas emerges triumphant.
Meanwhile, just the news of this makes me say, “YAYYYYYY!!!”

That’s why Republicans need over 100 votes against Boehner.

What are the long shot odds Boehner would see the writing on the wall and withdraw his name? Zero? Snowball in H*ll?He probably won't withdraw his name, because he needs to keep the favors rolling out, with money rolling in.

There is false information being floated that any Republican candidates in addition to the current Speaker will split the vote and give the Speaker's gavel to Congresswoman Pelosi. This is nothing but a scare tactic to keep the current regime in power.
How can this even be an issue? Surely the Republican Congress critters know and understand this? So, whassup? Get on with the frickin' vote and get John Boehner out of that Speaker's Chair. Twitter website is going crazy with excitement over the prospect of dumping Boehner. I think, with Gohmert entering the race, that this is very doable.

I challenged my newly elected Congressman, Brian Babin (R-TX) on Twitter today to vote for Louie Gohmert for Speaker. Being new, he’ll prolly be too afraid to buck the spineless, D.C. insider currently occupying the Speaker’s Chair. No reply yet from Brian Babin.

It made Huff Po, the most popular political site on the ‘net. It’s all over the ‘net. Only question is the broadcast networks.

Fox had something on it by Peter Doocy, but true to form, he said Boehner wasn’t worried. Fox is definitely more in the moderate Republican corner than conservatives.
After Doocy’s report, I saw Obama coming back off vacation. I was trying to figure out whose hand he was holding as she came off the helicopter. Didn’t look like someone in his family to me, but I was looking at a small screen TV.

I think this was part of Gohmert’s strategy. Wait till a few days before the vote so the RINOs had less time to attack him and the Congress Critters have to put up or shut up.

A challenge to Boehner within the caucus was going to be a waste of time. The 124 votes needed aren’t there.
But in a floor vote, 30 or so members can at least force a compromise of some kind. Gohmert not going to be Speaker, but the next Speaker may owe his post to the Tea Party Caucus.

If the representatives who claim to be conservative, decide to honor the wishes of their constituents, Louie will be elected.

If voters wishes were honored, Boehner would have been dumped in caucus, I think.
In how many House elections was the candidates future vote for Speaker an issue, or addressed at all?

It looks like Drudge has three articles about this mutiny against Boehner.
I think he just added the Mini-Mutiny article.
Texas Republican announces challenge to Boehner for Speaker...
