Nancy probably oked this. It will pass by one vote so the maximum number of democrats can vote no. I assume every democrat is willing to vote yes if necessary. I assume every democrat who votes no was given a gift by Nancy.
You’re not quite getting the numbers here. Why are they dicking around with executive orders on abortions and trying to woo the Stupak group if they have the numbers? Seems to me it would be easier to make a truly intended “Yes” vote go “Yes” rather than try to placate the pro life and pro abortion groups at the same time.
No. If it passes - which I doubt - it will be by 3-4 votes. If it's a one vote margin, every Republican running against a Democrat incumbent will say that their opponent was the deciding vote on Health Care.
It breaks one of two ways; it passes by 3-4 votes, or doesn't pass by 15. Once wavering Dems see 216 "No" votes, they will join in voting "No".
JMHO
Do not assume Pelosi ok’d it. Zack Space said he was not released by pelosi to do anything.
Won't work this time...if 'health care' passes; we will do our best to remove as many Democrats from office as humanly possible; regardless of how they voted. ALL Democrats need to be booted out; even the local town clerk. Make them ALL pay...
Not every Democrat — Dan Boren of OK has stated over and over again there is nothing to make him vote YES — absolutely nothing. So that is one Dem and there must be others.
