Help Remove Speaker Boehner!

[supermario21]

The speaker vote is going to happen on CSPAN any minute now. According to the reporter on the network, this is a roll call vote where every member stands up and announces their vote. Could be pretty dramatic.

Commentator from the Washington Examiner thinks Boehner will get the speakership, even if some GOP reps voting present or for another candidate. Dems will vote Pelosi.

pretty cool scene on the House floor. Reps have their spouses & kids with them. One kid was busy playing a video game on his iPad. Looks like he's "bored at church".

Here we go, nominations being taken now.

 

[supermario21]

McMorris-Rogers nominates Boehner, says Boehner has "strengthened committees" and calls for a unanimous vote among the Republican conference.

 

[V3n]

Boehner and Pelosi - no other nominations.

 

[Keith and stuff]

Only 2 nominations. Boehner and Pelosi.

Edit: Guess I'll stop. Looks like other people have this covered.

 

[supermario21]

No nominations other than Boehner and Pelosi. Remember members can still vote present.

Did Amash and Labrador vote Boehner? They might have been present. No announcement was made with the name.

 

[V3n]

Did Amash vote "Labrador" ? Is that what I heard, or did I mishear that?

 

[Lightweis]

How did Amash vote?

 

[compromise]

Amash voted Labrador?

 

[supermario21]

Bentivolio votes Boehner.

 

[V3n]

Bentivolio - Boehner.

edit - maybe I don't need a mad face - maybe he's just playing the game and Boehner was going to win anyway... let him get some votes down first.. (but if this was his 1st vote..)

 

[supermario21]

Actually confirmed via twitter, Amash voted for Labrador.

 

[supermario21]

Bachmann also voted for herself.

 

[Spoa]

Bridenstine is second defection.

Blackburn doesn't vote. Things are getting interesting judging by the noises on the house floor. Also why is Allen West being asked how he voted?
