Bill Flores, the Republican running against Rep. Chet Edwards (D) this fall in Texas's 17th congressional district, would not commit to supporting Boehner as the party's leader in the House.

"I would rather not answer that question," Flores said when asked if he'd support Boehner, according to audio of a meeting with voters obtained by The Hill. "I just would rather not answer that question, if you don't mind."

Naturally, we're going to have to see if Mr. Boehner prevails in his latest bid for election before we can commit to anything. Hee, hee, hee. Will other Republicans now voice their non-support of Rep. Loompah, or will they close ranks and universally condemn Bill Flores (and is Flores even here legally?).
