The word is that the House held some votes in reserve when Obamacare was passed. Some vulnerable Rats were allowed to vote no. That is not unusual for controversial legislation.

I believe they can get the votes in the House easily enough.

What I think will prove more difficult is whether they can get 50 senators to go the reconciliation route. We’ll find out soon enough.

If the demonrats were worrie about their jobs before what do you think they will be thinks ffter what they have seen in past few months. any fence sitter will run for cover before they vote for this bill. I hope they do , though so that we can have a clean sweep in November 10 and again in 2012.

Some vulnerable Rats were allowed to vote no.

And why would they not be vunerable now?

And they are less vulnerable now? I would think they are in more jeopardy now. And what does it gain them to pass it at this point with the country solidly against them. I believe at this point passage will just make it worse in November for them.

Yeah, but do you think those who were allowed to vote “no” will vote “yes” in wake of the Brown election?

That's definite.

At least this can start to flush out those pseudo-conservative Dems.
