Any idea who the 220 are?
So, even without these three voting for Bonehead, he still had a majority of votes, so all the pointless bashing of these three is ridiculous. They could have voted present, and Bonehead would have won. They could have voted for Pelosi, and Bonehead would have won.
This looks like resigning one’s self to the realization that Bonehead was going to be speaker regardless, so they pretty much had to get on board or lose their influence.
