(Vanity) Flipping channels between C-Span waiting for the Republicans to keep Boehner as Speaker

[jakerobins]

John Boehner looks too calm and resolved. The other Republicans don't appear to be coming together trying to get a group to vote against "Cry baby" Boehner. I think the Fix is in folks we are about to be "Lead" by the Doormat until he can hand the gavel over to Pelosi......

[jakerobins]

ON the bright side....It was good to see Senator Tim Scott.

[TexasCajun]

Keep us posted.

[Marcella]

I’m keeping TV on CSPAN House so I won’t miss the nomination and vote for Boehner.

[GeronL]

of course the fix is in.

If it goes to a second ballot, some Democrats will likely give Bonehead the win

[Free Vulcan]

Boehner and Pelosi are the only nominations for speaker.

[US Navy Vet]

Doesn’t matter, in 2014 GOP-e WILL lose the US House.

[Marcella]

Only two have been nominated - Boehner and Pelosi.

[VAFreedom]

what a choice eh?

[jakerobins]

As expected Boehner was the only Republican name up for nomination! The Democrat mob erupted with glee at the nomination of Pelosi. The Dems will be only too happy to hand Loony Nancy back the gavel in 2015....Ughhh we’re done.

[GeronL]

so, how does one get”nominated”?

[campaignPete R-CT]

for those of us not paying attention:
the speaker is chosen by closed caucus vote of the GOP: This vote has already taken place with no challenge to Boehner?
it sure won’t be on TV. pardon my lack of attention
the official floor vote for speaker will be a non-event, yep, no-drama there.

[RS_Rider]

Boehners re-election is a forgone conclusion....fundamental change of the United States of America requires him.

[GeronL]

The GOPe has probably just lost the next election

[Gabz]

On the CBSradio top of the hour news at noon (40 minutes ago) they said he remains Speaker.

[VAFreedom]

As of now
Boehner(R) 12
Pelosi (D) 9
Other/Present 1

who’s the girl sitting next to Pelosi, awfully young looking to be a rep.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Only two have been nominated - Boehner and Pelosi.

Can each Party only put one name up for nomination?

[iowamark]

Nobody else wants the job as it is such a no win situation.

[Free Vulcan]

So far I’ve heard of about 6 abstentions and one vote for Cantor.

[TSgt]

Just heard one for Allen West!

All the Dems voting for Pelosi must have maggots for brains.
