Neither are perfect, but I like both of them.

This is very good. Part of what unraveled previous attempts was the lack of a challenger stepping forward. It should be very interesting to see how incoming members like Dave Brat, Rod Blum and Mia Love vote.

Gohmert is pretty good on all things except foreign policy and the police state. In those cases he's a neocon.

Splitting the vote?

Splitting the vote?

According to Gohmert, there just need to be 29 defectors for it to go to a second ballot. Two candidates might actually draw a couple extra voters away from Boehner, although I feel they draw from the same base.
