There is going to be a race for Speaker of the House, Breitbart News has learned, and current House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will not be a shoo-in to replace outgoing Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH).
While McCarthy is still the odds-on favorite to win, he is likely to face a serious and credible challenge from a conservative who can beat him, Breitbart News has learned. If McCarthy is going to end up with the speakership after this long and protracted battle, he is going to need to make serious concessions to the conservative side of the House GOP conference. But as conservatives mobilize and organize, they have proven now that they have the power to deny anyone the speakership–and could blow up McCarthy’s move if he doesn’t cooperate with them and shift the power to someone more palatable. more here
Let us HOPE he’s not a shoe-in.
Mark Levin (as usual) has the dope on this guy.

He was great in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” … since then, not so much.
Ha! Great reference, Tim
Kevin McCarthy? California’s 23rd Congressional District?
There’s what? 12 people in it. Look at the Congressional map.
Kevin – Boehner’s favorite Caliboi in the Congressional Cloakroom.
California & “conservative?”
Oxymoron.
They might want to seriously consider someone else unless the plan is to embarass him and the republican party
