John Boehner’s still in office, but replacement game has begun

While it’s not yet known who will step up to run for Speaker John Boehner’s congressional seat when it opens, there will undoubtedly be no shortage of options.  “The last time we had one of these was when Congressman (Paul) Gillmor died in (2007), and there was a pretty brutal, ugly primary for that spot,” said Ohio Republican Chairman Matt Borges. In that race, then-state Rep. Bob Latta defeated state Sen. Steve Buehrer.
