After facing two rounds of devastation election defeats, tomorrow House Republicans will gather to elect their leaders.
I wish that I could tell you that after the drubbing we took, that the incumbent Leader of House Republicans, John Boehner of Ohio (a.k.a. “Mr. Nice Guy”) had done the appropriate and honorable thing (like the #2 and #3 members of his leadership team) and stepped aside.
I wish that I could tell you that there is a vibrant contest taking place for who will be our new leader, with the idea that whomever it would be would be able to present a new face, and new image, and a new commitment to returning the Republican policy agenda on Capitol Hill back to one of increasing freedom for Americans and putting the federal government on a diet.

Boehner has lost about 55 House seats in 24 months. I hope the GOP keeps him as their Leader. Bob Mulholland

Thank you, Bob.
The fact alone that you wish Boehner to stay on as leader ought to be enough to sway the House GOP to dump him.
But, I am not optimistic.

We can’t have Dan Lungren take over. Dan Lungren is seen by many as petty, provincial & religious. He’s not national material.
Also Dan Lungren has proven himself antigun during his stint as CA AG and greased the skids for Bill Lockyer. NRA members have a long memory: we don’t need to be reamed by Obama AND the republicans.

Looks like it will be a looong time in the wilderness for conservatives.
