A) Laymen see him as getting congress to settle and avoid a shutdown so he appears competent

The only way it will have any effect is if we elect more Tea Party candidates. They are not enough in number yet to force Boehner to actually tackle the fiscal disaster. We should do what we did in 2010 --- starve the RNC and send whatever we can to individual candidates around the country. We need more Bachmanns, Wests, Mike Lees and Rand Pauls to dilute the RINO contamination.
