1. No.
I guess there is a possibility that Cao from Louisiana will vote yes again, along with Stupak. But last I heard, he was a no this time.

18. So far
opposing HCR ("ObamaCare" as they call it) has worked well for them. Why do you feel it is risky?

20. I'd have thought those cynical bastards would keep a toe in
that they could inflate into a whole limb later. That's all, really. lol

7. Cao...The Only One Who Vote Yes The Last Time...

19. He was fine with the bill when it had Stupak language in there
He's cited abortion as the reason he can't vote yes today, but I think the GOP elders sat him down for a little talkin' to.

8. no, and....
according to cnn the no's have 35 of the 38 democratic votes they need to kill the bill. looks like there are only 12 undecideds left, meaning the yeas need to pull a 10-2 margine to pass the bill... i don't like those odds

11. They don't want to go afoul of OxyRush and the other RW Media Hatemongers.



They know if they go on the Hatemongers' shit list their political career is over.

14. Doubt it
Although I seem to remember that some Republicans decided to vote for Medicare at the last second because they knew it would be popular and they wanted to be on record as having voted for it. Nowadays, though, the Republican party is much better at punishing those who step out of line.
