    I don't know. She looks pretty good.

    Oh you meant the speakership. Never mind.

    So good. Maybe that's how to leak things these days, and oh by the way, someone alert a reporter on the down-low.

    Beautiful scheming, if it turns out to be true.

    There were a lot more efforts to spread the rumor.

    I'll have to find a/the article, but some conservative gadfly, apparently known for his emails/email list, was sending emails to journalists, members of Congress, and even the wives of members of Congress.

    Chuck Johnson -- Banned from Twitter! -- had also put it on his website.

    So why did McCarthy drop out? Was it really the Benghazi thing? Doesn't seem realistic.
