Boehner is cooking his goose by not facing reality

Vote on Boehner Plan Delayed Amid Opposition - NYTimes.com: "WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders were forced on Tuesday night to delay a vote scheduled on their plan to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, as conservative lawmakers expressed skepticism and Congressional budget officials said the plan did not deliver the promised savings."

The reality seems to be he is not tough enough to face down the flawed Tea Party logic which draws an erroneous parallel between debt and insolvency. That means that ultimately harder heads will probably either prop him up to create a split GOP vote or that the flawed logic will prevail. The only answer to this might be the conviction of a vast majority within the GOP that the party must vote to raise the ceiling regardless. It is hard to see at this point beyond this.
