I think it'll be Hensarling as the compromise candidate. He's alreaady in the leadership and would be more acceptable to the 'baggers than McCarthy.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz will become de facto leader of the House 'Bagger faction (if he isn't already). It's gonna get ugly/silly, to the definite benefit of the Democrats. The circular firing squad is going to be throwing hand grenades.

Yes, I think he already is. I find it astonishing that Cruz is allowed to get away with openly meddling in the business of the Lower House. It's a clear indication, IMO, of the utter weakness and ineptitude of the Senate Republican leadership that he hasn't been reined in.
