1. I sincerely believe some Repubs are in play. That will rock the GOP. Are you sure about the no.?

Because we just got 8 of the Stupak people.

5. There was one who voted yes the first time!

:woohoo:

[vaberella]

9. Yup..NYT says we still missing a few. but on the list 4 of them are Districts Obama won.

so I'm thinking they're coming onto our side. so we'll have 220----but another thing I have to say. I sincerely believe that some REpubs are going to rock the boat. They will vote for the bill. If not 2 at least 1.

2. That revised count has Loretta Sanchez (California) as a "YES"

1. I thought she was in Florida and incommunicato
2. I thought she'd signaled she was a "NO"

anyone know if she's been located, is coming back to DC for the vote and finally, that she is a "YES?"

4. From reading DU last night ..I thought we'd lost

Loretta.

[vaberella]

8. No, she's on board. Here's the NYT list.

10. I see that and thus the reason I am asking.... They could be wrong

I've seen nothing on the blogs since last night when she was in Florida, out of touch, and relaying a "no vote."

[vaberella]

12. nope. They seem to be the most on top of things. Although I think some of the 29 will move over.

and I do think Repubs are in play.

[Cha]

13. Thanks, vab!

[vaberella]

7. NYT confirms her: She's a YES!

Here's a link do a search on her name...I believe she's in the California section.

11. I saw it and that's why I am asking....

3. Then those last seven don't really matter.

I suppose they matter politically but what they do doesn't affect passage, which appears to be a done deal.

17. It's entirely political to get them and I hope we do. n/t

[treestar]

6. Yep!

:woohoo:

[HughMoran]

14. Updated!

217 now :D

[Tippy]

15. I predict...........230 YEAS.......200 NAYS..

Or......possibly..........229 YEAS........201 NEYS...

[vaberella]

16. Yup...and this is not counting REpubs I think will vote. n/t

18. I'd be shocked if lipinski votes for it and he's a Chicago dem. he got the seat from daddy

he was a republican before he got daddy's congressional seat and votes with them all the time. The D behind his name is just an illusion.
