The 114th Congress has convened, the House is in, and in a few moments it will vote for speaker among the following nominees: Boehner, Pelosi, Yoho, Gohmert and Webster. Big surprises are not expected, however as the WaPo comments [2]there is an outside chance sparks may fly when "House Speaker John Boehner’s GOP opponents will try to take him down Tuesday.... The defections Tuesday appear as though they could be more significant than at any point since 1923, but Boehner has one major advantage amid the revolt: the biggest GOP majority since the 1929-30 Congress. The GOP’s 246-188 advantage means Boehner can lose 29 votes before we can even talk about him being in real trouble. That’s because, were that to happen, the opposition would need to rally around a single alternative to have a chance."
So will Boehner be bounced? Who cares really.
In any event, for those few who missed the theater from the Capitol, you are in luck with the live webcast below.
