Why Boner won

As you may have heard, there was a challenge to John Boehner as speaker of the House, but it failed.

What I hear is that Boner worked the floor for a long time in order to get the votes he needed to win.  As for the opposition?  I didn't hear much about it.  When I did, it was about guys I never heard of before.

You have to get organized to win.  Boner won because he was better organized.  The opposition isn't organized, so it can't win.

Learn from the defeat because 2016 isn't far off.

Update:

Maybe it really wasn't a joke after all.
