a holding pattern awaiting a firm decision from ryan. i m told by people close to ryan that there is no expectation of a decision today, that he is going to go home to wisconsin later on this afternoon, sleep on this, hear from more of his aides, hear from more people that he trusts and talks to, but there s another thing paul ryan is going to do here. paul ryan does not want to put himself up for speaker and have to deal with the same types of things john boehner and kevin mccarthy dealt with. the idea is if ryan wants a little bit, conservatives have to come to him, i.e., the far right s already mobilizing against him, there is already articles saying he s not conservative enough to be speaker. that s going out in the blogosphere. paul ryan doesn t want to get into those waters. he wants to take a step back, maybe late next week be the only person standing, then take it. dramatic new video of san if he has to take the job and get muddied up by conservatives, antonio, texa
