First vote was 211 See my post He picked up someone who voted for some other dim in the first round.
Majority leader is not the Speaker. If this were actually true it would mean someone else is Speaker, since he can't be both. He was majority leader in the last Congress. Party leaders will be selected for this Congress after the Speaker is selected.
Those saying "just give it to the dims". Having a democrat speaker will erase completely the small advantage we have as the majority. It might as well be a dim House at that point. Remember they vote as a bloc 100% of the time unlike Republicans.
What happens to the left overs when most of them are dead from overdoses or murder within a week?
