Less than 24 hours before Alabama's Gary Palmer is sworn into the House of Representatives for the first time, the conservative Republican explained to Newsmax that he will cast his first vote to oppose the re-election of Speaker John Boehner.
"I cannot vote for Mr. Boehner and personally told him that in September," said Palmer, former chief development officer for the conservative Alabama Policy Institute, who in July won the Republican nomination to succeed retiring GOP Rep. Spencer Bachus in the state's 6th District (Birmingham).
