Keep Track of Expected Votes on the Health Care Bill with NYT's Interactive Whip Count

Edited on Fri Mar-19-10 04:59 PM by jefferson_dem

Vote tally right now - 202 expected YES votes and 203 expected NO votes. IF all undecided Democrats vote as they did in November, the Bill passes with 219 votes! :bounce:

1. But as Dave Weigel says, that's a BIG if.

2. Good point.

That's a HUGE if. I couldn't figure out how to change the font size so I did the best I could in the OP. <Knocking on Wood>

3. It's a handy guide though....

.... still confuses me a bit though (but I'm kinda dense.)

I wish someone would do a bar graph with "no" "yes" and "undecided" though.

The Hill's whip count it what I've been using...

They say we cant have more than 37 Dem no's. As of this writing, they're counting 36 no/likely no with 41 undecideds.
