It appears they only got 10 Rs to vote against Boehner, despite 60% of the Republican base demanding new leadership. Please let them run Jeb. I doubt he would break 40%.

Have they voted?

On my screen it looks like they're still milling around, waiting to vote.

Sounds like the gavel is sounding now.

Did I read it wrong? Was that vote for a quorum?

Excerpts from: Jim Jordan on the Verge of a Horatius Moment | RedState

Horatius stood at the Pons Sublicius as an invading army tried to conquer Rome. According to Babbington’s poem, Horatius famously asked “Who will stand on either hand and guard this bridge with me?”

Horatius saved Rome.

Congressman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) finds himself in a similar moment. The Politico reports that privately Boehner’s aides and the Republican Leadership intend to use Rep. John Boehner‘s re-election to vanquish the conservative opposition with the House of Representatives just as they’ve done already to the Republican Study Committee, which Jordan once chaired.

if Jordan does not get in and Boehner is re-elected, much like Obama now realizing congressional Republicans will mount no serious effort to stop him, House Republican leaders will conclude tomorrow that House conservatives will mount no serious efforts to block their move left.

Will Rep. Jim Jordan keep the bridge?

Jim Jordan (U.S. politician) - Wikipedia

Jordan was named Watchdog of the Treasury (1996, 2000, 2004), Outstanding Legislator (2004), Outstanding Freshman Legislator (1996), Friend of the Taxpayer (1997), and Pro-Life Legislator of the Year (1998) by the United Conservatives of Ohio, the Defender of Life award from the Ohio Right to Life Society, and the 2001 Leadership in Government Award from the Ohio Roundtable and Freedom Forum.[citation needed] Additionally, Senate President Bill Harris appointed Jordan to be the chairman of the Senate Judiciary on Criminal Justice Committee.

Jordan chaired the Republican Study Committee during the 112th Congress. He was elected over Representative Louie Gohmert, who was backed by several tea party groups. Jordan reportedly turned down a position on the Appropriations Committee.

The 4th [District] has long been reckoned as one of the most (if not the most) Republican districts in Ohio and the nation

Jordan received [a vote two votes by Mich. Rep. Justin Amash and Tenn. Rep. Scott DesJarlais] for Speaker on the first day of the 113th Congress

Jordan voted for Boehner.

Republicans who voted against Boehner, and who they voted for, follow:

Curt Clawson (Fla.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)

Gary Palmer (R-Ala.), Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)

Excerpts from: Colin Powell, Rand Paul And Jeff Sessions Get Speaker Nods - talkradionews.com

Under the Constitution, the Speaker of the House does not have to be a member of Congress.

During Tuesday’s vote for Speaker of the House, three Representatives voiced their support for individuals who have never served in the lower chamber: former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Senators Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.).

Rep. Curt Clawson (R-Fla.) cast his vote for Paul and freshman Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.) voted for Sessions.

Sessions endorsed Palmer during the latter’s House run.

Most protest votes in the GOP went for Florida Representative Daniel Webster, who ultimately received 12.

Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.), a Blue Dog Democrat, supported Powell instead of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). He had previously done so following the 2010 midterm elections.

Excerpts from: Florida Reps. Ted Yoho and Daniel Webster offered as alternative speakers Tampa Bay Times - tampabay.com

Webster, who was nominated by Rep. Steve King of Iowa, is a deep conservative but is viewed as more of an establishment figure and has kept a low profile in Washington since he was first elected in 2010.

In Florida, Webster is a revered figure, serving as speaker of the Florida House from 1996-98, the first Republican since Reconstruction.

He paid a price on Tuesday, however. Webster was removed from the Rules Committee, as was Rep. Rich Nugent, R-Spring Hill, who voted for Webster.

(Technically, anyone can be speaker. Colin Powell drew a vote.)

Rep. Gwen Graham, D-Tallahassee, kept a campaign promise and voted against fellow Democrat Nancy Pelosi. Instead she cast a vote for Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee.

Excerpt from: Who Else Got Votes for House Speaker - Washington Wire - WSJ

four Democrats cast ostensible protest votes against House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.). Those went to former Secretary of State Colin Powell (Jim Cooper of Tennessee), Reps. Peter DeFazio of Oregon (Dan Lipinski of Illinois), John Lewis of Georgia (Krysten Sinema of Arizona) and Mr. Cooper (Gwen Graham of Florida).

Republicans who voted against Boehner, and who they voted for, follow:

Jeff Duncan (S.C.), Trey Gowdy [Post #13: “A canceled flight, due to weather, from South Carolina to Washington this morning regrettably prevented me from being in Washington for today’s speaker vote,” Gowdy said in a statement. ”Had our flight not been canceled, I would have voted for our conference nominee, John Boehner.”]

Chris Gibson (N.Y.), McCarthy [House Majority Leader from California but the least experienced of any floor leader in the House's history by more than a year. Ref.]

John Katko, Richard Hanna help House Speaker John Boehner win 3rd term - syracuse.com

More than 10 members of the New York House delegation, mostly from the New York City area, missed Tuesday's vote in order to attend funeral services for former Gov. Mario Cuomo. One member of the New York delegation, Rep. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, voted for House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

Both of the "refusenik" nominees, McCarthy and Jordan, voted for Boehner.

Rerunning this 1 minute news-speak by Gowdy from last year that I think is one of his better showcasings as a speaker of the House assemblage:

It Only Takes Trey Gowdy 55 Seconds to Shame Congressman Who Asked for a Raise

Edited bracketed note 2 in the quote section.
