And you know the Dems have a few in their pocket that will be willing to vote Boehner if it comes down to that.
The dems do get to vote don't they? Dems want Boehner and if that's what it takes, they'll do all they can to keep him.
I don't understand how that works, it will be a Republican because we have the majority but do the dems vote for their favorite Republican or do they vote present or what? I guess they need the Dems to be there for a quorum don't they? (Not asking you Laz, just anyone that knows)
Yes, Dems get to vote. Traditionally, each party has only voted for a member(s) of their party (with a few minor exceptions). Most of the Dims will probably vote for Pelosi, who should not have enough votes to become Speaker, but would become Minority Leader (same as she’s been).
