Going over the Cliff

I have good reason to believe that Boehmer will not be the Speaker of the House come the 2014 elections, no matter what the outcome now. He barely had the majority of votes to become speaker after the 2012 elections. The President believes he cannot work with him. The Tea Party doesn't trust him. And now he's facing a revolt of the moderates against him. So the question is if Boehmer does not become the speaker, who is? A lot of that would depend on the make-up of the House after 2014. If the moderates (i.e RINO's and squishes to the Tea Party) lose seats (by how many, no idea. So let's say 6-10 seats in the low side.), that means that the Tea Party will gain more dominance (not that they haven't already).  Maybe it will be Ted Cruz.

Thanks, that was really funny.  I think you've pretty neatly summed up the intellectual level of this thread in just that last sentence.
(For the foreign readers: Ted Cruz is a Senator. That means he can't be Speaker of the House, because he's not in the House.)
