Key GOP House candidate declines to support Boehner for speaker
An interesting tidbit out of Texas: A GOP House candidate in a high-profile race that's emerging as a must-win for Republicans conspicuously sidestepped questions about whether he would support John Boehner as the next Speaker of the House.

"Next question," the GOP candidate answered when asked by a constituent how he feels about Boehner.

The candidate in question is self-funding businessman Bill Flores, who's challenging Dem Rep. Chet Edwards in a very competitive contest for one of the most conservative districts controlled by Dems. Observers say that the GOP will need to win races like this one in order to have a chance at seizing control of the House.
