"It looks like C-SPAN viewers will have to wait another two years - at least - to get close up coverage of the arm twisting and fat chewing that occurs daily on the House floor.

Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) this week rejected the cable network's latest appeal to put cameras in the House chamber. C-SPAN wants the freedom to pan away from speakers to capture conversations between members and lawmakers' reactions to things said during debate.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), Mr. Boehner’s predecessor as speaker, rejected similar appeals."
