Does anybody think that Pelosi would have had such a huge smile and scheduled a vote

[HughMoran]

If she didn't already have private assurances from enough Dems that they would indeed vote yes on Sunday?

[scheming daemons]

1. Nancy never holds a vote without already knowing the outcome...

..never.

If they didn't have 216, the vote would be postponed until they did.

2. No...I don't She Would

I also think that this parade of representatives coming on TV for the "breaking news" announcements that they are going to vote for the bill is anything more than giving them TV time for their campaign ads. I wish this bill were better, much better, but I think we have to start somewhere.

3. I'm sending her flowers as soon as this is over. NOBODY has worked harder than

Nancy to get this done.... NOBODY.

10. I think Speaker Pelosi might prefer we donate to the dccc blitz campaign which doubles your donation

That's what I plan to do to say 'thank you' to the awesome Speaker Pelosi the minute the gavel comes down on Sunday--probably with Rep. John Dingell wielding the gavel. Speaker Pelosi will have earned our support.

The campaign ends on March 31st--the end of the fundraising quarter.

13. I can do both. Oh yes... John Dingell... wouldn't that be the icing on the cake, eh?

15. 100% agree

Money is tight, but if (sorry, WHEN) this works out, a few $ go the DCCC way.

18. She has earned my respect.

I will see what I can do.

4. Agreed. Sunday is going to be an amazing day! eom.

[fugop]

5. Go Nancy!

Seriously, she does not get enough credit for how amazing she is. Reid would KILL to be even half as effective as she is. She is absolutely incredible. I can't wait to see her smile when it's over!!!

[Inuca]

7. In fairness, I think Reid has way less power

but I agree, Nancy was/is wonderful.

[fugop]

8. Agreed

But her spine drinks his spine's milkshake! Without a doubt, IMO!

[lamp_shade]

19. Yes she is, but my guess is that Harry gave her a lot of advice on parliamentary procedure. He's the

expert and deserves a whole lot of credit.

6. You can just feel the momentum building.

I love it! :)

9. The vote would have never been scheduled if they didn't

have the votes.

[Inuca]

12. Was the vote ACTUALLY scheduled?

I know it is supposed to be Sunday, but do not know of it being officially scheduled (I am at work).

[tekisui]

16. My understanding is the vote is taking place at 1:00 Sunday.

[WhiteTara]

17. 1:02pm I believe

based on the posting moment.

[Bobbie Jo]

11. She's got this.

No doubt about it. :thumbsup:

[DCBob]

14. yep... it appears to be a done deal..

congrats to Nancy, Barack, Dennis and all the others involved!!
