We all said it couldnt be done. And by we, I mean the unwashed know-it-alls who make up the capitol community. . . .What we have here is a new king and the conventional wisdom has been checkmated. . . . He toppled the man that everyone said was certain would continue in that leadership post as long as he desired. Sound familiar? Those were the words of Evan Smith talking about Joe Straus in 2009. (I tried to copy the above language verbatim but may have missed a few words. You can hear the full remarks at this link: https://youtube/watch?v=dTehIlCMMCE) So, those who are championing Scott Turner, there is absolutely no reason to be discouraged or down. Signing an open letter in November is much different than casting a vote on the House Floor in January. A lot can happen the next two months. As Evan Smith said above, conventional wisdom has been turned on its head before, and I think it will happen again in less than 60 days. Keep up the hard work! Do so with joy, do so passionately, and do so civilly. Rep. Turner is going to make a great Speaker!
