Follow up to the Plan-B fiasco

    It looks like were going over the cliff unless people start working together on this.  The fact that Boehner was unable to get the votes necessary to get his Plan-B through the House means that his ability to negotiate with Obama is seriously hampered.  How can he and Obama come up with a fix if the Speaker of the House can't rally his own party?  So the end run around the President has really blown up in Boehner's face.  The freshman Republicans that rode the Tea Party wave into office have pushed the party to the right, and it seems like they might not play ball with the party establishment.  Is this going to be a the new dynamic in the House?  I'm not sure if moving further to the right is the best way to return the Republican Party to power.
