"Late round of nos either troubling trend for Ds or a hint that enough yeas are in the bag"
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
It will be irrelevant even if the socialists ram this through Congress! Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care! The people are not bound to comply with any unconstitutional act of Congress! The people are the government and will have the final say as to how they will be governed! These points need to be conveyed to Congress critters!
The Knights of Nee.
Huge news, awesome, now we need Davis of TN!
That is what I have been wondering. The RATS are letting some members vote no because they have enough votes lined up. I hope that is not the case.
sorry, I linked to twitter, but he works for RealClearPolitics
I think it’s in the bag - but it is not good for dems. Not at all.
Medicare payments fall off a cliff, states already in financial trouble get worse off having to pay more medicare. Doctors refuse medicare patients.
If it was in the bag they wouldn’t be talking about executive orders.
Nye voted “no” the first time around, plus he’s in a very tough re-election fight in a district in VA that leans Repub.
Code Red has NO=211 and Yes=212 and 8 undecided.
Nye is a ‘no’ vote? Halleleuia !!!! Praise GOD !!!!
* Glenn Nye (Va.) Nye is in a toss-up race. He voted no last time and his vote will go a long way in determining whether Democratic leaders get the votes.
Pelosi now needs to peel off two out of Baird, Davis or Tanner. If Sanchez is really a NO vote, Pelosi is screwed and blued.

You’re exactly right.
I wonder if Bart Stupak’s people are part of the 8 undecided?
Code Red also has Nye listed as a ‘yes’ vote, and has not yet listed Schrader as a ‘yes’. That puts it at 212-212 with 7 votes left.
I don’t buy that the ‘Nos’ we’re hearing about mean that they have enough ‘yeas’ in the bag....
Because even if they told Pelosi they were going to vote no, it would be only a small favor to her to keep that to themselves until the vote in the House, even if just to allow her to continue to twist arms.
Face it, a lot of these ‘no’ votes are being made reluctantly...a lot of them would probably like to vote ‘no’ but have it pass anyway....
Why not wait to reveal their vote?
If it wins, it wins by 1. If it loses, it will lose big, as the twisted arms break loose.
OK, now it’s 37 nays counting Nye.
If Sanchez is really a NO vote, Pelosi is screwed and blued.
Sanchez from Colorado?
