Rep. Louie Gohmert says not so fast — John Boehner is the House Speaker now, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can't be challenged and that he can't lose in 2015.

Mr. Gohmert hinted that he might be interested in the job during an interview on "The Steve Malzbert Show" on Newsmax TV.

Asked if he thought Mr. Boehner would keep his leadership role, Mr. Gohmert said: "It's never over 'til it's over," Newsmax said.

Asked if he were interested in the position himself, Mr. Gohmert said: "I hadn't planned on it. I'm running for the [Republican Study Committee]. But it's always good when you have choices," Newsmax reported.

Boehner was pretty quiet during the election. Was he being like Obama- trying not to get too close to candidates for fear of "harming" them?
