It needs to be someone who is tough, and willing to articulate the conservative position well-enough to withstand the media onslaught when Obama shuts down the government. All we need is someone who can articulate the position clearly on video and in interviews that it is President Obama who is shutting down the government.

Newt can do it, for sure. Unknown if there is enough support for him in the House though.

The CR expires on Dec 11th. No way this beltway GOP bunch has a shut down fight with the kenyan before Christmas after surrendering to him for years. Not going to happen. It’s over except for maybe amnesty & TPP. Obama will get the budget he wants regardless of who is elected Speaker.
