Unexpected Schmidt loss could send chills down the spines of other Republicans facing primaries

by Chad Pergram | March 07, 2012

The unexpected primary loss by Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) Tuesday could send a chill down the spines of other conservative Republicans who face competitive primaries and are worried that they aren't conservative enough.

That means they could abandon House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and other House leaders in droves on important bills. You thought it was hard for Boehner to guide crucial bills through the House before?

The House GOP leadership has lost anywhere from 40-90 Republican votes on major pieces of legislation over the past 15 months. After seeing Schmidt's loss, that number could well experience an upward trend as Republicans begin to fret about their respective primaries and begin taking fire from their right flank.

Many will view the Schmidt loss as a wakeup call.
