Excerpt:

At least 25 of the House's 234 Republicans are said to have reservations about voting John Boehner in for another term as speaker, Fox News has learned -- a number significant enough to tee up a potential drama on the floor after the new Congress is seated Thursday afternoon.   The 11-term congressman, who's endured his share of political turbulence, presumably enters the speakership election with the upper hand. So far, a single viable Republican challenger has not emerged and the rules of the vote tend to work in Boehner's favor.
