Round 2 is today, at least I hope so. I think Scalise is the best choice for Speaker. No, not because he is a fellow Rummel grad, but because as Majority Whip he has been carrying out the duties of trying to herd the GOP caucus (like trying to herd cats) and get bills to the House floor for votes. And Jordan has his hands full as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and important work to be done there. Doesn't matter what I, or most pragmatic people think, the GOP is its own worse enemy and will again fumble at the goal line. There are some absolutes in this world you can count on: the sun will rise in the east, and the Goofy Old Party will eff things up!
