I think last time Delay talked about the AWB, he said it is 20-30 votes short of the number needed to pass.

Which is hardly a safe margin. 30/435 is less than 7 %, and 20/435 is just over 4.5 %

I still wouldn't worry about it. Hastert and Delay have said it isn't going to come up for a vote regardless of what the Democrats and Senate want. The issue is DOA as far as the House leadership is concerned.
