Once more into the breach, my friends, once more into the breach.
Finally a tad of good news. Outside, the sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day. But the news sure has been gloomy.
I think I’ll add a prayer.
Because the Dems have been so hamstrung trying to get this thing passed, it's easy to forget that they enjoy a 79-seat advantage in the House. But, when you see the committee makeup at 9-4, the reality becomes stark.
Boehner has his problems, but you have to give credit where credit is due. He's done a great job holding the GOP caucus in line throughout this last year, when it would have been VERY easy to fold. The fact of the matter is, without the parliamentary tactics available to the minority in the Senate, the House minority really is powerless.
Rules Committee Democrat Will Vote No [Daniel Foster]
Hotline reports that Rep. Mike Arcuri (D., N.Y.), a sophomore who had a tough go of it in 2008, will vote nay on Obamacare, both on the House floor and in the Rules Committee. The Rules vote is symbolic, since Democrats outnumber Republicans there two-to-one. But the floor vote could go either way. It is obviously a blow to Pelosi's chances of hitting 216. But just as often, the fact that a vulnerable junior member votes against the Speaker signals that the Speaker can afford to let him do so.

anybody know what the presumed total is at this point? i know Kooky Kucinich switched from No to yes and i think one of the antiabortion Stupak crowd did
It’s not good news. It says it won’t pass the rules committee. This is about the Slaughter deem and pass bill.
It says Arcuri will oppose the Senate version of Obamacare. But the Slaughter rule will make it possible to never have to vote on the Senate Bill.
So it’s not good news in the sense that the Slaughter Rule is ready for passage.
Come on over to the right side for the American people. We only need a few more for this thing to die. No wonder Nancy is looking like her last facelift fell!
