Paul Ryan tells me they're gonna pass this thing. Says he's confident. On his way to meet with leadership.

I kind of wish Tea Party members would tell Boehner they will probably vote yes to screw up his count, and then vote no.

That includes the 'super congress' delegation of power to a star chamber not representative of all districts.

This vote should be considered like TARP and those who vote for it should be out.

IMHO.

Costa on the No votes


A senior Republican member tells me that Boehner is nearing 216. Still, he says, the “no” votes are rallying together and shaking up the final whip count: “They think they have the momentum.”

Once one “no” vote announces, he says, the media attention and cheers from fellow conservatives becomes a huge factor — and influence others to join the camp. “Saying no, at [this] hour, is like scoring a last-minute touchdown,” he says. “They are loving the spoiler role, from what I can tell. It’s a big problem for Boehner — not devastating, but big.”
