daring sometimes. it doesn't even cross their minds to do this most of the time. >> well, that's right. it shows the degree of aggrievement, if that's a word that some two dozen or so tea party types feel in the house. for john boehner for all his obstructionism, for all his opposition to obama, that 51 votes against obama care were not enough. they still feel that the party has to move further to the right and have more hostage-taking events when it comes to the budget and, of course, to the debt ceiling. it will remain a problem for speaker boehner, but at the same time, he has a bigger margin, a bigger republican majority this time than he had in the last congress. and it's kind of interesting. how many votes did he get today as speaker from republicans? 216. how many does he need to pass a bill without any democratic votes?
