Maybe we should have learned something last month when Kansas Democratic Chairman Larry Meeker, Lake Quivira, resigned his job at the top of the party’s political hierarchy.
Then we could have gotten our bets down on the resignation of U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
The link between Meeker’s and Boehner’s resignations, while politically different, is philosophically identical.
Meeker wasn’t “Democrat enough” and Boehner wasn’t “Republican enough.”
