When Pelosi became minority leader, I remember Mara Liasson (yes I know she works for Fox) referred to these internal struggles as like 'Vatican elections.' I think there's a lot of insider stuff that goes on in leadership debates that none of us plebs has a clue about. My guess is Bachmann is waaaaaaay back in the Republican line. Boehner might get a challenge, but not a credible one from her.

They're drunk on power from a very *limited* national success. Like the first time your parents let you stay home alone...suddenly you think you're an adult!
11. Yep. There were 130 teaparty-backed candidates and only 40 of 'em won.
I'm so happy that Sharron Angle, Christine O'donnell, Ken Buck, and Joe Miller LOST :) It makes all the bad news about the lost dem seats a litter bit easier to take.
