After a few hours of deal wrangling, sudoku challenges, some pushing, shoving, a little bit of  tickling, biting, arm wrestling and twisting, ego massaging, and exuberantly played slap towel and grab ass in the House locker room, John Boehner prevailed, and was once again voted Speaker of the House, which makes him 2 heartbeats away from being President.

Although there were a few sore sports including, Louie Gohmert of Texas, Ted Yoho of Florida and Jim Jordan of Ohio who received a couple of votes, once the House band kicked in and the confetti and balloon drop began, the party exploded in full force.
