hahahah Froma WaPo article via drudge:

"For the first time since Wednesday, Democrats lost a vote. Rep. Zack Space, a second-term lawmaker from a swing district in eastern Ohio, said he would vote "no" Sunday, a switch from his vote for health care in November.

Zack "Cap and Trade" Space is feeling the heat and I am proud to say I've been burning up his phone lines here in Ohio (As have many friends and relatives!) They finally stopped answering on Friday!

I guess we got our message across!

[yield 2 the right]

Sure sucks to be a Law Abiding Citizen don’t it?

Those people have to stop looking for excuses to vote for the monstrosity! They’re not fooling God, and it must come down to that.

[onyx]

LOL. I see that. That’s all right!!!

“Update: Well, I never thought I’d encourage you to go to Firedoglake, but there is some must-read reporting on the late-night negotiations over the abortion funding issue. And it isn’t good:”

You're not fooling God or the Catholic Bishops. Vote NO, and go in Peace.

Guess this proves that not all "Space Cadets" are whacko ...

[Art in Idaho]

Even the Administration’s Chief Actuary at HHS cannot provide cost analysis of latest Democrat health spending bill before the vote. Chief Actuary: ‘I regret that my staff and I will not be able to prepare our analysis within this very tight time frame, due to the complexity of the legislation.’

Good news. Would like to see the vote over tomorrow, but the more delay, the better. . imho.

[Chaguito]

That report appears to be from Friday night. Eons ago.

[Mad Dawgg]

"Guess this proves that not all "Space Cadets" are whacko ..."

Zacky knows he has two chances in November...

Slim and None!

and Slim done left town...

[STARWISE]

Yes, I know .. BG was looking for credibility
of that site.

[Chaguito]

Okey dokey, I’m late to the party tonight.

[StarFan]

Looks as if it was written prior to his scheduled presser today at 11:00 which he cancelled and the EO was then proposed. Whew!

The Sunday shows UGH

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) will lead off "Meet the Press," where two party chairmen, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine and Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairmen Michael Steele, will also debate.

Top House leaders will also lead ABC's "This Week," with Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (D-Conn.) and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) debating.

Larson will also appear on CNN with his GOP counterpart, Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.). Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Dianne Feinstein will also sit down.

House and Senate leaders will appear on CBS's "Face the Nation." Two Democratic leaders, Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Assistant to the Speaker Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) explaining their bill. And in a bit of foreshadowing of a potential Senate debate, Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will sit down.

A bevy of lawmakers will talk on "Fox News Sunday," too. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the top Republican on the Budget Committee, will talk along with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), a top deputy whip for the Democrats. National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman John Cornyn (Texas) will appear.

Supply is up so you should be able to find anything that

you want or need,,,

This one was a real “Blast”,,,;0)

[STARWISE]

Yep ..

Update: Capitol Hill protests stretched into the evening. Many Tea Party activists will be back again Sunday to keep up the no-mentum.

Reader Joey who was in attendance in DC e-mails:

“After the day long rally, into the night there were speakers. Toward the end, we were asked to please email, and phone everyone and request they return tomorrow. We were told that the congressman would be praying inside the Capital at 11 am and that it would be wonderful if we were outside praying. Just passing this along.”

[onyx]

Thank you for that, dear STAR.
The commies and illegals will be there tomorrow for their “protests.”

[McGavin999]

Did she say she would vote No or does her absence constitute a NO?

If she's not there she can't be one of the Yes votes, so I hope she goes shopping and nobody can find her until after the vote.
