Cantor and Boehner are actually IN the chamber, I’d trust what they say. And Cantor went through this yesterday. All 178 Republicans are NO votes (including Cao). The math comes down to how many DEM NO votes Pelosi can switch, and there have NOT been that many. That leaves the Stupak group of 6 or 7 who will probably decide this, and if they mean what they say, that’s what Boehner & Cantor are looking at. Despie all The Red Queen Pelosi’s rhetoric, she needs the Stupak group to cement this. They may get it anyway with a blizzard of last minute bribes - or they may not. But she needs the Stupak Group to know it’s a done deal.
All of the full court press by the State Run Media reciting the Dems spin is meant to dispirit opponents. FOX takes the same tact with a different view - they know THEIR audience will be nothing but even MORE fired up to intensify pressure if they keep reporting it’s all still hanging in the balance. Ailes knows what he’s doing - he’s lighting the fire under his viewership to keep hammering. It’s brilliant
