    What’s your over/under on Emmer? I say he doesn’t last until Monday.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      Emmers became the 3rd House GOP nominee for Speaker.

      [Emmers] got 117 votes on the final ballot, while House Republican Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson (R-La.) got 97. And in a roll call vote that followed, lawmakers said about 20 holdouts remained.

        Seems like an opening bid. The dems would probably accept a deal whereby he agrees to take a handful of key measures to the floor.

        He can always renege negotiate later.

              Well, somebody can play REAL hardball. Wanna be Speaker? Go talk to the Dems. If Jeffries can deliver (and I think he can, they have much better cohesion) the bulk of his guys, how many Republicans would it take?

                      Johnson wins Speakership.

                      Now, lets see if he can herd the cats better than McCarthy did.

                            That's a big job for Johnson. You know, it's better than electing Mike Hunt.

                              I hear that Richard Gaziña dropped out early.

                              And Phillip McCracken wasn't interested.
