Florida Representative Daniel Webster Now Running for Speaker of the House?
Voting Starts Any Minute Now
Webster is known as something of a moderate so he would presumably be acceptable to the wing currently claiming that we daren't reject Boehner, for everyone else is Teh Crazy.
Marlin Stutzman says he talked to Daniel Webster this morning and Webster is running for Speaker. Webster won't answer questions.
— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) January 6, 2015Daniel Webster and Lynn Westmoreland on the House floor talking. Lot of nodding heads. Webster is supposedly the secret Speaker candidate.
— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) January 6, 2015Representative Steve King (R., Iowa) wants conservative lawmakers to rally around Florida representative Daniel Webster in a last-minute bid to oust House speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio). Webster "understands that the role of any leader is to bring out the will of the group, not to impose their will on the group," King tells National Review Online, adding that he has been discussing the idea with Webster for over two years... Webster was elected in 2010 with the help of Jeb Bush, who described him as "a true conservative and one of the most principled people I’ve ever met."The Vote: Is on CSPAN, momentarily. Vote's On: I have no idea how to tally this.
Reminder -- the danger zone for a 2nd ballot for Boehner here is upper-30s http://t.co/A39fV0FDdR pic.twitter.com/CkSwMPKTzm

I'm still amazed it is "hard" to find the 29 votes. No matter what wing of the party you are, Boehner has been a horrible Speaker. The worst I can ever remember. There has been no vision, no strategy, no real fights.
Posted by: McAdams at January 06, 2015 12:04 PM (XVgmD)
Remember how we used to attribute Boehner's/McConnell's failures in negotiations with obama as incompetence?
Boehner and McConnell are ruthless politicians, not a pair of nincompoops. Their failures with obama were really a staged collusion.
We're being had, and they're all in on it.

He's a true conservative.... Like his brother who started DHS...

and Reagan under whom the Education Dept. started (it was signed into law before him, but came into existence right after he became President).
And this I just learned... did you know the Fed Res system was designed by a REPUBLICAN?

Er, hello?
Huge success at what again exactly?
Stopping (or even, hell, slowing down) which parts of the Obama revolution again exactly?
As for the idea that Boehner is some amazingly popular figure who is galvanizing ordinary apolitical Joes and Janes to vote Republican due to his brilliant mind and magnetic personality, one of the polling honchos over at PPP pointed out last year that more than half the country don't know who the hell John Boehner even *is*. He has 43% name recognition or some such thing.

Yup, I had the satisfaction of voting for Webster to oust Grayson. Since then they've both in different districts now and Mica is my rep. I know of small business owners who are impressed that Webster sends them letters tellling them that they are appreciated. He used to be Speaker of the Florida House of Reps, so he's got that experience at least.

If the (D)s wanted to keep the Boner but didn't want to be seen actually voting for him, they'd just have to vote "present". This reduces the total number of votes that the Boner would need to have a majority.

The leadership can't even promise they'll defund Obama's illegal amnesty! Even liberal law professors are on record basically saying what Obama is trying to do is illegal and violates the separation of powers.
The majorities Republicans have in Congress have zero to do with the leadership and everything to do with the reaction of the American people against Obama and his agenda.
I'll say this about Newt, you at least knew the GOP agenda for the Congress in the 1990's.

Posted by: McAdams
As a tactician, it is hard to argue the case that Boehner has been ineffective or short-sighted. At the risk of sounding heretical, the GOP base could do with a little bit more caution like that embraced by its current crop of House leaders.
Boehner has often angered his right flank, and he may have been unnecessarily antagonistic at times, but he has also advanced the causes to which conservatives profess loyalty more than any overzealous inquisition against moderates ever will.

Then he goes into "negotiations" with Obama and the Democrats and immediately folds like a cheap card table. Not a whit of that prior aggression to be seen.
What the hell is it with the GOPe that they display this toxic pattern over and over again? It was the same business with McQueeg and the Mittbot.

For anyone that missed it, the US debt JUMPED again. If you remember, just last month, it hit $18 Trillion.
But there was an end of the year adjustment.
US debt clock has the debt now at $18.080 Trillion. Zerohedge said the adjustment was over $100 Billion.

What if 3 R's run for speaker and just 1 D runs and the 3 R's split the majority and cause the plurality to go the D?
If speaker elections have 'rounds,' I suspect this might happen, which would be embarrassing for those GOP bunglers.

Silver lining:
Per WaPo, no major partys nominee for Speaker has lost as many as 20 votes in more than 90 years. If conservatives hit that target, their consolation prize in failing to oust Boehner will be having the media embarrass him for the rest of the day with that factoid.

It's because they've bought into the whole, "but Congress needs to be more bipartisan" lie that appeals so much to the LIV.
They've hitched their wagons to the idea of everyone being a LIV. Makes it that much easier to write legislation for my favored contributors if the pesky public is uninterested/bored/disgusted and dropped out.
They think you're a sucker if you believe all that Constitution, rule-of-the-people nonsense.

Had Boehner and Republicans said "make the tax cuts permanent or no deal" Obama would have been a 1 term President. Without question.
A big tax increase on the middle class would have sent him packing in 2012. Instead, Boehner listened to the Chamber of Congress crowd that just wanted any short term relief rather than destroying the President.

I hate disagreeing with you, T9, but the US in it's present form is over. The split is already happening. And it's been happening in earnest since 2009. Too many differences between regions.
And I don't think the split will be in the form of states leaving the union, rather than the Urban centers splitting from the rural and suburban.Personally, I can't abide anymore with people who have no knowledge and/or respect for the Consitution. It's become unlivable.

Maury and Jerry Springer used to be sideshow curiosities. Now though, I think they are actually a reflection of a large, growing population of America.
That's what you get with out of wedlock births for whites (25%), hispanics (50%) and blacks (75%) at high levels. It's not like father's are important or anything.

Cancel the balloon drop:
Update: As Politico reports, at least 12 House Democrats are skipping the speaker vote to attend former New York governor Mario Cuomo's (D) funeral. That increases the threshold for pushing Boehner to a second ballot to at least 35, making him even safer.
That 35 number, we would emphasize, is a minimum. Boehner needs a majority, so if some members don't vote, Boehner's threshold for winning will be lower than the usual 218 votes as it was in 2013, when it was 214 votes. So if some of these Boehner opponents vote for nobody as Labrador and Mulvaney did in 2013 that hurts Boehner less.

Darlin, it's because we're cowboys/girls.
We hold *everyone* accountable.
Democrats don't even hold each other accountable. Why?
They're terrified of failure.
A good man or a good woman sees failure as what it is: a necessary learning experience.
A liberal is repairing a combine (hah... as if... but bear with me) and takes a nasty gash to the arm. He goes off and cries about how the combine manufacturer failed him. Uses the government health care system to fix his stupidty
A conservative is repairing a combing and takes a nasty gash to the arm and stitches it up himself and is pissed that he didn't see that coming and reevaluates his actions. It was his fault.
These two different paths of thinking are what separates us from the weak and helpless.
Unfortunately, the weak and helpless have power. a la Boehner,

Knowing a surgeon or two, I'm going to have object- citing facts not in evidence.
Right at the moment, there is no evidence of Malpractice. When you're cutting inside someone's body, sometimes the wrong thing gets cut- completely accidentally, and even with all due precautions being taken.
She was taken from her child(ren?) and family. We do not know why, or even (aside from the most basic facts) how. Casting blame at this point does nothing good for her family, and could actually be harmful.
Indeed, if they were taking her appendix, then she would likely have been dead without the surgery in the first place. That may sound callous, but it is an important thing to remember. This isn't someone who died from having their tonsils removed, and it's not (from what we know) an instance of a doctor sewing her up with tools still inside.

I did a little research on that a while back to see where the delta came from. Turns out that debt ceiling showdown in 2013 caused a bunch of money to get moved around and shortly after the start of FY 2014 they basically borrowed a crap load of money and "charged" it to 2013 instead of 2014. Except I never saw where the 2013 deficit number ever went up to account for it - maybe it did, or maybe that money somehow didn't make on the books officially for either year.

It's a real challenge, but it seems the Dems want Boehner calling the shots (wonder why that would be...) and many of them are skipping the vote. I bet a bunch more vote "present" or abstain all together, making the number needed for him to win even lower.
Our only real chance to remove Boehner was during the primaries. I don't remember if he just didn't have a primary challenger, or if he did, but said challenger never gained much traction.

I mean, as long as no Rs vote for her, she simply doesn't have enough votes (she needs >50% of those voting, after all), but she *does* have enough (with some Rs voting for some R other than Boehner) to push the vote to at least a second round.

It's a majority of who is present, right? Because some people are voting present and some people are not there, that's got to change the numbers... no?
In other words, Boehner probably asked Pelosi to have a few dems forget to set their alarms this morning if it lowered the threshold of how many votes he needs.

Dammit. If I'd thought of that, I would have used it. I very nearly did put meeses in there just to see if anyone would notice.
Allen, I was going to go with external pointing devices but it was pretty apparent that would woosh right over the heads of the people involved, what with being told "We keep the tv things and the typing things and the mouse but not the box".
I blinked and then was all "Do you mean the monitors, keyboards and computer mouse will stay but the desktop unit itself is not included?"

But I like the l'il buggers. They don't fly south, they hang around all winter here in frozen WNY. Tree Sparrows don't care. And on the rare sunny day, I kind of like hearing them chirping away outside my window.
With their winter fuzz on, they look like fat little gray Easter Peeps.

Yeah, right up until I was the one who would have to mediate that argument.
This is the part where I tell the story about being asked by one of my psychopathic former bosses to convert some video from a tape into digital format. I said sure no problem and then he told me that he needed all 45 minutes of it done before the focus group that started in 20 minutes. I told him that was not possible to do. He told me I had to do it. I told him that, sorry, not physically possible to do.
He rolled his eyes at me and told me of course I could. Just hit fast forward.
I just stared at him in response. I mean. Yeah.

Did de Blasio visit with cameras (use the injured cop as a prop) or come on his own?
De Blasio is also just making it worse by instructing everyone to just ignore those cops who are protesting. Funny, some protests are more equal than others, huh? I mean, he should just tolerate the inconvenience of the police turning their backs because it takes challenging power to bring about change. Or so Obama told us not long ago...

Issa owes Agent Orange for that plum committee assignment last time round, at the Oversight Committee. The one that Issa handled so brilliantly.
Wherein Issa let Lois Lerner reel off a lengthy nonspecific assertion of total innocence and THEN have her suddenly clam up and take the Fifth when specific questions were put to her. Genius. Sheer genius.

Or I could be completely wrong as usual.

Yeah I hope so too. Look its great for smart phones and tablets, because of their size, and you don't want to be lugging around peripherals. And for laptops its kind of borderline in being effective. But for actual desktops? Just no. Don't you get ticked off when you notice smears and finger prints on your monitor, and now you want to make that a guarantee?

And I don't think the split will be in the form of states leaving

suburban.Personally, I can't abide anymore with people who have no

No one expects you to use *just* the touch-screen in place of your mouse. No one. However, as Scott Hanselman points out, my keyboard short-cuts and touch-screen will beat your point & click for speed (at anything more than a level or two down) every day of the week.
I'm not a huge fan of touch-screen desktops either, but for laptops (especially convertables) they're really useful. And in my line of work, fast navigation many levels down is a big thing.

The good news is that the class of 2010 grows in skill and relationships with each passing day.
Trey Gowdy didn't vote because his flight was cancelled and he couldn't make it. His statement of support for Boehner is a masterful non statement. It's a tough job, it takes years of preparation and no one came out against Boehner during the conference in November, blah, blah, blah. It's all about the institution and devoid of any personal praise.
Boehner is going to be looking over his shoulder a lot in the next two years.
