Help Remove Speaker Boehner!

[supermario21]

Cantor firmly votes for John Boehner.

 

[compromise]

Thanks to Amash, Bridenstine and Bachmann!

Remember, as long as we get what, 17 total other/no votes among Republicans, then there is no speaker on the first ballot.

 

[supermario21]

Jim Cooper of Tennessee votes for Colin Powell??

 

[supermario21]

Allen West also has a vote.

 

[compromise]

Jimmy Duncan voted for Boehner.

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

Is this defection of 17 even possible? So far only five.

By the way, technically, is it even possible for Pelosi to become speaker? I thought even if EVERY Democrat voted for her, she wouldn't have the necessary amount of votes for a majority.

According to Dave Weigel, expect fireworks from others such as Mulvaney.

I don't think the "Other/Present" include the three who didn't vote.

Robert Costa ‏@robertcostaNRO

[supermario21]

Walter Jones votes David Walker.

[supermario21]

David Walker was a Revolutionary War hero apparently.

 

[supermario21]

[Lightweis]

I am guessing we dont have a chance here?

David Walker was a Revolutionary War hero apparently.

There's also a David M. Walker who was US Comptroller General recently, anti-bailout IIRC.

That would make sense.
