The Final Days of Speaker of the House John Boehner? [View all]

Is this it for Boner?
Will the GOP really re-elect this guy Speaker in Jan?
How can they after this last final cluster-f**k?
If they don't trust him to cut deals how can they keep him as Speaker?

The Cheshire Cat smile on Cantor's face last night seemed like he looks ready to pounce.
Plus if I was Cantor and looking forward to 2010 I'd be worried that the GOP will lose the House at this rate and if he wants to be Speaker this upcoming term may be his only chance....
And with the changing demographics of America this chance may be his only chance for a decade or so.

So, will Boner be Speaker again in Jan?

Boner is out but it won't be Cantor that replaces him. There's a Joker in the deck.
