“The size of the group ensures that GOP leaders would have to attract some measure of support from Democrats to keep the government running after September 30.”
With 247 Republicans, and 188 Democrats, that means that at least 30 Republicans are revolting against Boehner. I would like to see it at 217, where Boehner would be gone, even with total Democrat support, but that seems unlikely.
