BREAKING: Boehner elected to third term as Speaker
— The Hill (@thehill) January 6, 2015
It makes absolutely no sense why the GOP would reward this man with another term for being arguably the worst Republican Speaker ever! His inability to unite his party under any inkling of principle is perpetually on display with his insistence on propping up a Democratic president while incessantly berating his conservative colleagues. The guy's reforming Bob Michel's reputation for crying out loud! What the hell does it say about a party who'd keep this loser in leadership?
And for all of that, nothing makes the media (and Democrats, but I repeat myself) happier. Onward into oblivion, Republicans...

ADDENDUM: And can we say OUT OF TOUCH? I think so...
PJMedia: A national poll of GOP voters supervised by Caddell Associates, Pat Caddell’s outfit, presented the following findings Sunday regarding today’s full House vote for the speaker position:The Daily Signal and Drudge mentioned it. Levin caught it last night. Otherwise, it received scant media attention. Shocker.
Only a quarter of GOP voters think [John] Boehner and [Mitch] McConnell should remain Speaker and Majority Leader. Three-fifths want someone new rather than Speaker Boehner and almost half want someone new rather than Leader McConnell.
Meanwhile, most of the Republicans who were elected by those 75% IGNORED their constituents wishes and reelected Boehner to the speakership anyway.
