It needs to be stated, loudly (this requires Rush to act tomorrow, as our loudest voice) that any GOP members voting for any Speaker candidate who wins with Rat votes shall be considered Democrats, not Republicans, by the 2016 GOP primary electorate. Palin, and any other national figures associated with primary challenges need to stress the same. Not all the RINOs will be intimidated, but some will be. Meanwhile keep hitting the media current theme that some in the leadership, and those who support them, are racist. It may inhibit some democrats from crossing over. At some point they’ll stop defending Boehner and try to slip an alternate RINO through. I find it unlikely that ALL 188 Rats would be willing to vote to save Boehner as they’d fear being primaried for it. With 246 total current GOP votes (after the NY resignation cost Boehner a vote), most of whom were elected claiming to be conservative, and the recent heavily anti-Boehner polling, we do have significant leverage. Alas, probably not enough to elect Speaker Gomert, but enough to get a speaker who owes us something.

In a sense, even Bohner is out and another RINO wins, we win, because Bohner has been punished for his treachery.
