They need what, 29 votes to block Boehner’s election? They have seven or eight and the vote is tomorrow. I hope that they haven’t started too late.

Actually, I think they need 30 of the 247 Pubbies in The House to prevent Boner from getting 218 votes on the first ballot.

Yes, it’s my understanding that they need 29. However, it’s my understanding, reading various posts on FR, that depends upon the total number voting, and based on the 218 majority needed (out of 434 with Grimm’s resignation). The majority number needed could change if some vote present or abstain. There’s also been discussion of Dims crossing over and voting for him instead of Pelosi, but many think that won’t happen.

Calling my Rep now.

Now's the time boys, hang together and oust the Crying King or slink around as beta males for the next two years at least. Defend your manhood and vote him out, that's all you have to do.

It's the right thing to do, you'll feel better about yourselves and you'll inspire the base to back the GOP, that it's not a lost cause. Morally right - check, spiritually right - check and politically right - check. It's now or never.
