Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on November 09, 2009, 07:58:04 PM Nah I believe the next Republican Speaker will be Cantor. and if not him, Mike Pence. Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: Lunar on November 09, 2009, 08:24:44 PM yes, Cantor or Pence seem more likely. AIPAC would certainly be influential and pulling for Cantor.
Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: SamInTheSouth on November 11, 2009, 10:43:55 AM I sure hope not. Boehner is a terrible leader.
Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: Frodo on November 11, 2009, 01:33:20 PM Not going to happen -if (as seems likely at this point) the GOP fails to take control of the House in an election year that couldn't be more favorable to them, he will be forced out of his leadership position. This should clear the way for Mike Pence or Eric Cantor to take over.
Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: nkpatel1279 on November 11, 2009, 02:43:19 PM Democrats have 258 seats- they need to lose 41 seats in order for John Boehner to be Speaker or House.
Democrats will pick up Republican seats in 1)DE-AL(OPEN-Castle-R)- John Carney-D. 2)IL-10(OPEN-Kirk-R)- Dan Seals or Julie Hamos-D. 3)LA-2(Cao-R) 4)PA-6(OPEN-Gerlach-R)- Doug Pike-D. That means Democrats have to lose 45 seats for John Boehner to be Speaker of House. 1)AL-2(Bright-D) 2)AL-5(Griffith-D) 3)FL-8(Grayson-D) 4)ID-1(Minnick-D) 5)LA-3(OPEN-Melancon-D) 6)MD-1(Kravitol-D) 7)MI-7(Schauer-D) 8)MS-1(Childers-D) 9)NH-2(OPEN-Hodes-D)- If it is a matchup between Bass vs Swett. 10)NM-2(Teague-D) vs Pearce-D 11)NY-20,NY-23,NY-24,and NY-29- will be GOP pickups if Paterson-D is the Democratic nominee for Governor. 12)OH-15(Kilroy-D) 13)VA-2(Nye-D) 14)VA-5(Perreillo-D). Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on November 11, 2009, 03:21:49 PM I don't see Boehner holding onto to the Leadership position until at least 2015, so No. The next Republican Speaker will probably be Mike Pence.

Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: Deldem on November 14, 2009, 12:21:17 AM Nah, he won't be there long enough to see the GOP take back the House.
Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: Psychic Octopus on November 14, 2009, 12:37:42 AM No, Republicans aren't taking the House in 2010, and probably not in 2012. I think that they'll take it in 2016, by which time it will be Pence or Cantor.

Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: Bacon King on November 15, 2009, 03:30:53 PM I don't even see him staying on as minority leader for too much longer, but that's just me.

Title: Re: Will John Boehner be Speaker of the House someday? Post by: The Age Wave on November 15, 2009, 05:43:32 PM Boehner will be luckily to remain leader of the Republicans. I except a challenge from Eric Cantor or Mike Pence.
