The 'baggers have squandered any leverage they had left in this latest kerfuffle. There's no way the speaker is going to let his party get steamrolled again by the suicide caucus in January.

They don't have the level of leverage that may have been claimed anyway.
If they had as much influence as some have suggested, the government shut
down would likely still be in effect.
