Can conservatives block Boehner on the first ballot? Update: Boehner survives...

Hot Air, Red State, AoSHQ is cautiously optimistic/skeptical…well leaning skeptical.

I can also understand why they would not disclose until they get what they need to do it. Just don't let it be a useless performance art demonstration (Smitty's House of Representatives PSA)
The Blaze describes how the vote will happen.

WaPo: Some Drama?

Jim Geraghty: High Drama?

Update:
Boehner survives...

  1. Looks like it will be relatively close; close enough, even if it fails, to stand as a No Confidence vote.

    1. Yes, actually. Clearly, people are getting fed up.

      Expect a lot more primarying next time around.

      PS Of course, Politico is going to go all apocalyptic on the Conservatives.

      Big whoop.

    2. Um, it's not Politico that dumped Webster and Nugent from the Rules committee.

    4. You really think he'll purge all of them?

      Then he may have a real mutiny on his hands.
