Unfortunately, this is the safest R district in Ohio, going in at 62% Romney. The likeliness of a democratic victory is very slim.

This would be weird if Boehner pulls it out but GOP majority falls and he will have to retire.

Not that this makes Boehner in the least bit vulnerable in a general election, but it probably makes him closer to a decision of deciding to retire. Losing his Speakership to the Democrats aside, he's got a 30% approval rating, caving on the debt ceiling as the far-right puts it would cause him to lose the Speakership anyways if the Republicans do hold onto their majority, and he's already got a tough GOP primary challenger in Eric Gurr. If any party leader in the House steps down next year, it will for sure be Boehner, not Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi has a lot more to gain from running again as opposed to John Boehner.

I have to admit, although this Democrat stands zero chance, he could gain national attention next year simply because of facing Boehner if he runs/wins the primary. I know some friends from high school who actually go to Miami, but I wouldn't know if they have this professor. It sure must bring up a lot of heated debate in all of his classes given how conservative the area is.

Even you think it's "unfortunate"? Cheesy

Democrats can replay the "unconditional" speech over and over again on shutdown cause that is exactly what he did in raising ceiling.

Well, I said that for two reasons:

1. I was speaking for the D's. I don't want them to get too unrealistic

2. I really hate Boehner, I seriously would like a replacement (But that has to do with the primary, of course).
