Boehner steadies Republican team, reframes deficit debate Feb 3rd 2013, 13:23 Published February 03, 2013 Associated Press FILE: May 10, 2012: House Speaker John Boehner takes questions during a news conference on Capitol Hill, in Washington, D.C.AP House John Boehner has shored up his political clout after a shaky month by persuading fellow Republicans to pick their fights with Democrats more strategically.

It marked a significant cooling off by GOP conservatives.
