Subject: Speaker's Election
It will be quite interesting, to say the least, to see what happens with the Speaker of the House elections today. Leaving aside Kevin McCarthy's merits (or lack thereof), it's a fascinating example of collective action problems. All of the members want a Speaker to be chosen - it's not really hyperbole to suggest that a Speaker must be chosen - but it is equally certain that there is no single candidate that 218 Republicans will all prefer. How that gets worked out will be really intriguing to watch.
