Republican Kevin McCarthy drops out of Speaker vote

   Before his comments earlier this week admitting to the committees set up to hurt Hillary Clinton's Presidential bid, Kevin McCarthy, Republican from California was the likely successor to John Boehner's job.

   This morning, prior to an inner-party vote, he abruptly pulled out of contention, leaving Daniel Webster (the frog?) and Chaffetz as the only competitors. Some were concerned that he may be a 'gaff' machine, which would hurt the party more.

Example of what happens when you spill the beans AND put your foot in your mouth! He literally confirmed what we already suspected about classic GOP tactics, so good for him, he deserved nothing less.
