I would like to see it at 217, where Boehner would be gone, even with total Democrat support, but that seems unlikely.

Why would the Democrats jump in? When your opponent is tearing itself in two you don't jump in and patch it up.

Because Boehner is doing what the Democrats want. That is why they would work to keep him in power.
