It is 6:10 AM Thursday morning March 19, 2010.
Ryan Booth of The Hayride blog is doing a masterful job of keeping us up to date on the House of Representative's vote count. there is no news service that can provide this kind of detail. the news is disinformaton anyway and not worth listening to.
And if you think this has nothing to do with your small business here in Phoenix, Arizona think again. If this goes through you will be taxed so much that you won't have a small business. You will have no business.
Update 3-19, 6:11 AM: After reading this, I’m going to move Lynch back to “leaning no,” but I’m not counting on his vote. He’s a pretty liberal guy, though his district went 55% for Scott Brown.
Update 3-18, 11:15 PM: Joseph Cao reviewed the Senate language again, per the President’s request, and found that it still funded abortions. So he’s still a no.
Update 3-18, 10:45 PM: I’m going to ignore Bobby Rush’s silliness. There is simply no way that he will vote against Obamacare. The only good thing about this is that it is one more distraction for Pelosi & co.
Update 3-18, 8:15 PM: I’ve been working and haven’t had time to do a proper analysis of today’s the “deem and pass” rule challenge. Fortunately, Michael Barone was on the case. Before I get into the individual members, I think that the vote was very revealing — it showed Pelosi just how far behind she is. By exposing her problems, though, she knows who her problems are, which may help her “fix” them (which is not good for our side)...
Update 3-18, 10:05 AM: If you are Barack Obama and you are inviting Joe Cao to the Oval Office, then you really aren’t close to having the votes.
