WHIP COUNT: DEMS LACK THE VOTES
Wed Sep 09 2009 17:03:37 ET
At least 44 more moderate Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on
the record in opposition to the current health care bill in the House,
a Hill source claims. Likewise, at least 57 liberal Members of the
Democrat Caucus have gone on the record saying they will vote against
a health care bill without a strong public option.
Unless multiple Democrats flip on their stated position on health
care, Speaker Pelosi lacks the votes to pass a bill through the House
on the strength of Democrat votes alone.
