I know it is still early in his term as Speaker, but who do you think will be the more effective in the job? I think Gingrich is more a true conservative, and Boehner more a dealer, but I do like that John has a strong business background unlike Newt who was an author and professor.
Boehner also has a tougher job, the economy is is much worse shape and he has the TEA Party watching his every step. I could see them trying to primary him if he gives up too much to Obama.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
I think Boehner has a much tougher job than Gingrich did. Back then, the GOP fell in line as they were told to. Today, not so much, they are more like the Democrats in that regard - like herding cats.
