House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) indicated he's in great shape to run for speaker again.

"I think I’m in better shape with my own caucus than I have ever been in the last three years," Boehner said in an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer posted on Monday. Boehner has already filed paperwork to run for speaker again.

Boehner has had to shoot down some rumors that he might retire at the end of 2014.

Some Republicans have also used association to Boehner as a line of attack on the campaign trail.

1. Worst and Weakest Speaker in History. The GOPNRAteahadist House deserves him. nt

2. Or not. He is not in a position to say he will not run for speaker in 2015.

If he does, whatever little power he still has on his conference will disappear.

So, he says that. We'll see in November/December what happens (and it will probably depend on him having a shot as speaker, but he is a very ineffectual speaker, so I think it is still 50/50 that he will be the next speaker).

3. A boner and his caucus

7. Boehner sucks but Cantor would suck more.

Nancy Pelosi seems like a better replacement to me. Now if only we could take back the House...
