1. That's politics.

Hint: They aren't 5 votes short.

3. zactly.

It's politicking at this point.

Nancy would not have held the presser if their was any doubt in her mind.

4. Yep!

I can't wait for Sunday, be happy for a day, and then start having headaches again because of the forthcoming assholiness in the Senate.

9. That's what I was thinking as well...

hopefully it's true.

2. I heard Clyburn talk

right after the CBO score was announced in the morning. Main point: until now he was not really asking people to commit. Starrting this sfternoon HE WILL. And he sounded pretty positive about having the votes.

5. Oh, now that the CBO #'s are out they will have the five votes. There were members uncommitted.

That is not against.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. We still need 5 votes before the CBO numbers were released.

The undecideds will go over the CBO numbers and likely announce their support shortly.

I wouldn't be surprised if we had all the votes we need tomorrow morning.

7. Abortion issue is unrelated to CBO scoring...

I think there are still some male Dems who want to dictate their religious beliefs via the bill on the rest of the country.

8. Relax. They have the votes-just not announced yet...

They wouldn't have scheduled a vote if they didn't.

[Phx_Dem]

10. I wouldn't bet the farm on that! Pelsoi would not schedule a vote unless

she knew she had the votes.

The fact that they've scheduled it tells you she knows/thinks she has the votes.

11. There are people who want to get a little something - photo op

Sasha and Malia coming to a fund raiser,

If your not going to be out front on an issue, for what ever reason, its better to announce at the end.

This bill is not going to pass for a lack of 5 votes.
