Domestic HiJinx

++Tan Man Boehner said he "was all in" for being elected Speaker of the House again. Previously, it was thought he would bow out next year.

++David Brat is a Neo-Calvinist,Catholic, libertarian. Andrew Sullivan thinks his right-wing populism might be the ticket for the GOP. Andrew thought the next President after Obama would be a left-wing populist. Weirdly, he finds Brat more convincing than Elizabeth Warren.

++David Frum tweeted "The Challenge: How to keep the GOP small enough to be controlled by rightwing talk shows and large enough to still beat the Greens."

++Rachel Maddow did a good job showing that Cantor was not defeated because of immigration reform. In fact,PPP did a poll the day of the primary that showed the most liberal reform had the highest support.

++Even Tan Man doesn't believe Eric was defeated by immigration reform. And to his credit yesterday, Cantor came out for some sort of protection for the children of immigrants.

++I noted the curious item in Politico's Senate predictions that Republicans will win the Iowa seat. Strange because Joni Ernst, the castrating pig farmer (in her youth),is actually a Fruit Loop. She apologized for her equally Fruit Loop husband calling Janet Napolitano, formerly the head of Homeland Security,a "Traitorous Skank". This isn't the first time she apologized for her husband's remarks. But,what threw me was Ernst is campaigning on "repealing Agenda 21", a conspiracy favorite about the UN taking Americans' private property. I didn't know Iowa has gotten that strange.

++Jason Carter it taking the Medicaid extension issue straight at Nathan Deal. Carter is pointing to the health emergency in rural Georgia as hospitals have to close for the lack of funding, which would be solved by Medicaid expansion.

++The Southern Baptists are going to vote on whether President Obama should be impeached at their annual convention. The platform also calls on Baptists joining Operation American Spring, which had a dismal turnout but will return in the fall.

++Brainwrap points out that the best news about Obamacare isn't being covered. 2/3rds of Americans want to keep it.

++Tan Man Boehner has a unique reason Cantor lost. Besides not saying Benghazi as many times as Lindsey Graham, he lost because of President Obama.

++The Speaker went on to say that immigration reform hasn't passed because of how President Obama handled the swap for Sgt.Burgdahl. 

++The Magellan Strategies Poll shows Alison Grimes beating Mitch McConnell 49 to 46.

++Survey USA poll has Jeff Merkley beating Dr.Wehby 50 to 32 in the Oregon Senate race.
