vote after vote for who will hold the Speaker's gavel.

It takes 218 votes to elect. about 37 Republicans were prepared to stage a coup over Planned Parenthood, with the potential of another 11 joining them.

There are 188 Democrats and 247 Republicans in the 114th Congress.

The baggers won't give an inch and the standard GOP congresscritters don't want to cut a deal with Pelosi or let a nutball hold the gavel.

Stalemate.
