The Democrats have always had the votes to pass this bill.

Michael Barone is right. This is Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 all over again, and the this fight is far from over.
A year from now, Pelosi and Reid will be shedding bitter tears. We will make sure of that.
A year from now they will be taking credit for the greatest socialist bill in human history, and there won't be a tear shed on their side anywhere. They have achieved their goal.
