Sorry about the link to a "print friendly page". It's the only link that worked in the email I received.

I guess this about seals it. Morris says the Dems are short of votes - that just about makes it a slam dunk that the bill will pass.

(of course, even LeBron misses a slam dunk once in a while)

Votes or no votes, they'll do an "end run" passage of this thing by having Bammy sign some piece of crap they throw together behind closed doors in committee.

Then let the games REALLY begin.

Yeah, Morris hasn’t been exactly stellar on his predictions. But Michael Barone wrote a good piece on the dem chances. He thinks there is a reasonable chance it won’t pass.

Better have the Dems dye their thumbs to make sure they don't vote twice!;-)

No offense to you personally, but if Dick Morris told me it was going to be sunny all day, I’d bring my umbrella with me just to make sure.

Morris is an idiot.

This bill is going to pass. If it wasn’t 3 seconds before Morris wrote this, they can bank on it now because Morris made the call.

Ha Ha. That’s the first thing I thought too. Morris is always wrong.

His track record historically has been awful, but he has has some pretty good insight during this process. We’ll see....

I don’t buy it. Why would they let it be defeated if this would mean “the end” of Obama’s presidency and Pelosi’s speakership? Nah, if they don’t have the votes this thing is going get punted downfield again.

Of course we shouldn’t put our faith in Dick Morris.

But it is very, very, very, very late in the game for this still to be in doubt. Pelosi’s only hope of keeping her fragile coalition together is to create an aura of inevitability. To get wavering Dems to vote yes, it must appear to be a lock.

Otherwise, ten then twenty or even more Dems defect, and the thing loses by a significant margin.

If Pelosi can’t name the 216 votes today, she’s done. And it will end up falling more than a handful of votes short.

Let’s see if the dems really have a vote on Sunday if they do not have the votes. My guess is that if this does not pass, then some dems will be sawed off at the knee caps. Then another vote will occur with some “tweaks” to the legislation.

I wouldn’t trust Dick Morris as far as I can throw him.

My feeling is, the Dems will use their slush fund left over from stimulus to buy whatever they need. Since the terms Congressman, Congresswoman, and Senator are now easily interchangable with the word whore, buying votes isn’t that hard to do.

This whole process has been a disgraceful sham which bears not even the slightest resemblance to ‘American government’ as I have been taught.

Where and at what point did these people forgo their responsibility to the American voters? When did they abandon accountability for personal aggrandizement?

More to the point, when did Americans decide that they could stand by allowing this and still call themselves ‘independent’?

Every dollar that is expended on an illegal alien (and these vermin ARE covered under ObamaCare) represents one less dollar available for an AMERICAN in need:
a hungry child,
a disabled person,
a senior citizen,
-or- a veteran who risked their life for our country

Our politicians are an embarassment. Why bother being a working, tax paying, law abiding citizen? What’s the benefit?

Until American citizens STOP giving elected officials permission to STEAL from them (voting for the Democrat Party), nothing will change.

I thought I was the only one that was less than enthralled with the Toe Suckers’ perspicacity. Freepers are smart.

Pelosi has never lost a vote. She will not take it to the floor unless she has the votes.
