I can almost feel it.

No votes switching to Yes, the CBO report, Obama postponing the trip. It's going to pass - maybe narrowly, but it's going to pass.

4. Heh. I still remember that. That idiot is my Senator. Too bad we can't kick him out of the state.

3. Objects falling off cliffs have great momentum
Accelerating feet per second relative to the distance they travel.


Then they stop. The result is generally not favorable for said object. Nor for any caught under it.

5. It is gaining momentum. The CBO scores are pushing it toward passage now.
The question is will it be really, really tight....216? Or will it pass with more?

7. Over a year's worth of momentum!
Also known as inertia.
