Now they are backtracking and Ryan is saying he doesn't need the official
endorsement and since a "super-majority" voted to support him that's OK.
He'll run now.

Ryan fails to get key endorsement to become House speaker: congressmen

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Representative Paul Ryan did not secure enough
votes from the conservative "Freedom Caucus" for a formal endorsement as
speaker of the House of Representatives but may get enough support to win
if he decides to run, congressmen said on Wednesday.

"The bottom line is that if he wants to be speaker he has the votes,"
Representative Mick Mulvaney said.

Representative John Fleming said Ryan won about 70 percent of the votes
from the Freedom Caucus but fell short of the 80 percent required under
caucus rules to be endorsed to replace House Speaker John Boehner, who is
retiring.
