In the last day and a half the Republican Whip, Republican Conference Chair, and Republican Conference Vice Chairwoman have all announced that they are giving up their jobs. No doubt some of them feared they'd be tossed out if they sought to keep their positions. Republican Leader Boehner wants to hold on to his position. But he may have a fight on his hands.
UPDATE: Ryan won't run. So it's looking more and more like the top 3 Republican posts will go uncontested and the Republican leadership team will be headed by Boehner, Eric Cantor and Mike Pence (hard right, hard righter, and hard rightest).
