How can having to go through a primary campaign be any advantage for Boehner?

I think you meant to ask how not going through a primary is an advantage, since that was my point.

The answer is that he will be propped up by the MSM and made to look like a strong leader. A primary challenge against him will become an opportunity for the MSM to propagandize for him. I say, take away his soap-box.

Do the real conservatives of the district want someone to represent them who embraces the Obamaton agenda enthusiastically? That would be significantly worse than Boehner.

In Boehner's home district, only 246,000 people voted for him in 2012. In 2010, the vote was a split of 142,700 for him and 65,800 for the Democrat.

Given today's situation, we can't put 300 million people's interests at risk over the needs of 250,000 people in one district in Ohio.

Sorry. Boehner is too dangerously weak and incompetent as Speaker. The 250,000 who supported him in Ohio will have to suffer for two years until they can oust the Democrat who unseats Boehner.

One other possible scenario that could happen: Boehner could be re-elected in his district and the new GOP majority caucus in the House could vote to have someone else as Speaker. That's exactly what happened to Newt Gingrich after the 1998 election, and Gingrich decided to resign his seat after being rebuffed as Speaker by members of his own party.
