"News articles say some rats have voted for Craddick as Speaker, what does that tell you. On the other hand a google search of “rino craddick” yields results that indicated RINOs don’t like him."

Well, with Dems voting for Craddick may indicate pragmatism on their parts, as Craddick would be apt to reward them for such.

"Damn right. A gain in 2010 is a must, need some breathing room before the remap. RINO state senator Jeff Wentworth is pushing for a non-partisan commission to do it. California first Jeff."

Yeah, NFW to that notion. It took 130 years for the GOP to finally get the upper hand, and scum RINOs like that to hand away the store. Let's see rodents in my state propose that now that the grown-ups finally took the numerical majority in the legislature... What's good for them is HORRIBLE for us... to them.

It’s interesting to note state legislatures lack the strictest party discipline in choosing legislative leaders. Numerous examples abound. SC rats in 95 electing a GOP Speaker, PA rats with a 1-vote edge making a RINO speaker. The coalition in the Alaska Senate. RINOs proping up John Wilder in your state.
