I wonder if Nancy Pelosi could now get 218 signatures on a discharge petition...

[rateyes]

to get this to a floor vote.

1. Probably

It'll be filled up in less than 4 hours, plus a few scared Republicans...

[rateyes]

4. Why wouldnt she do it? To get a better deal in the next Congress?

7. The longer the media blames r's, the better things look for 2014

I don't see any reason for her to do it until after the 11 o'clock news (eastern time).

[rateyes]

2. I mean, if she is confident it would pass if gotten an up or down vote,

then would the Republicans who vote to pass the bill be in any more trouble for signing a petition to get the chance to do just that?

3. My guess is that there will be an up/down vote close to midnight.

The GOPers are using today to get on the TV and spout their faux outrage for the folks back home.

6. I hope that is the case. Also, I've seen the left's outrage and I'm wondering if some

of it isn't giving the RW the idea that we're as pissed off as they are. So that they think we had to "give up" something.

What do you think?

8. I don't know. At this point I just want it all to be over. n/t

5. Considering how many GOPers in The Senate voted 'aye', I think there are many in The House too...

that would vote 'aye'.
