Everyone is saying it will pass. It is passing.
The fog of war. They have the votes and then they don’t have the votes. I think we’re screwe either way. The stalinist in the white house has a plan B. Remember?
Another post said the 'no's' had a solid 216 against it.

Update 3-19, 5:48 PM: “Pro-choice female Dems are shuttling in and out of Pelosi’s office and they won’t say why.” Tweet from a reporter for The Hill. Perhaps a Stupak deal is in the works, after all, or at least being attempted.
Update 3-19, 5:45 PM: Scott Murphy is, as expected, a yes. Pelosi still hasn’t flipped a vote that we didn’t expect.
Update 3-19, 5:38 PM: By the way, Bart Stupak has a press conference scheduled for tomorrow morning. Maybe he’ll have his group with him and we’ll find out for sure about Carney, Dahlkemper, Berry, Ortiz, Kanjorski and Kaptur. We know that Stupak, Costello, Driehaus, Donnelly, Rahall, and Lipinski are in his group, but if his dozen turns out to be six, Pelosi has a chance. I’m still counting Dahlkemper and Kaptur, but I don’t mind trading them for the other names I mentioned. I just counted again and that would leave us at 215, so we really need the Stupak group to be nine or get one of the other undecided votes, since I don’t feel that I can count DeFazio.
