Having trouble getting reliable information, but Pelosi saying she has the votes is less than credible. Why would any news source trust the word of a known liar who is desperate to invent her own reality?

I have one update, but not confirmed:

Update 3-19, 7:52 PM: Whoa. Rep. DeFazio is dead serious about voting no, bragging about voting no on the stimulus and cap and trade when his demands weren’t met.

And since I don’t think that Pelosi has a good way to “fix” Medicare reimbursement at this stage of the game, I’m going to count him as voting no. The “no” side now has 217 votes.

UPDATE on Post #1242
The 5 DEMS THAT WILL DETERMINE OBAMACARE!!!

1. Lincoln Davis (Tenn) -- Went from "no" to undecided. But the Governor of Tennessee is putting the heat on him to vote no.

2. ~~Jason Altmire (PA)~~ --UPDATE: Will oppose bill (see post #1239). Has publicly criticized the Slaughter rule and voted no in committee and on floor on the original bill.

3. Pete Defazio (NY) -- UPDATE: an unconfirmed NO
Announced today that he's voting against. DeFazio also voted agasint the stimulus bill.

4. Glenn Nye (VA) -- Nye voted no in on the first bill. He is also in a conservative district that includes Virginia Beach and Norfolk (basically the Eastern Shore). Nye is also in a tough re-election race.

5. Suzanne Kosmos (Fla)-- UPDATE: She announced "YES"
She's getting hammered. She's a freshman from New Smyrna Beach, Fla., and she eeked out a victory in a conservative district that McCain carried over Obama in 2008. Her job in on the line.

Update 3-19, 8:35 PM: McNerney is leaning yes. I’ll take him off my undecided list. I had hopes for him based on his vote yesterday against “deem and pass.”

Update 3-19, 8:25 PM: More on Stupak’s proposal and how it would work (and why it won’t).

re: Teague

“(D)espite the positive steps it takes, I must vote against this bill.”

But some measures Teague was viewed as a lean no, by others undecided. The road to victory for Pelosi without an abortion deal is narrowing. The liberal FiredogLake.com now says Pelosi may have to run the table to win without the Stu-pack.
