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?

I haven't seen a bigger collection of sideshow freaks since the days of Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Baily.

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).

Edited spelling, punctuation and to add last link section.
