And therein lies the hubris, what has Pelosi thinking she will garner the 218 necessary to pass it? Have the Blue Dogs gotten over her use of them, reneging on the deal she made prior to the August recess in order to get their votes then?? Has the Hyde language been added (or will it be added) to the Senate bill to keep Bart Stupak (D-MI) and his pro-life contingency from defeating a health care bill as promised?? I am still dubious at this point.
Okay, my top-of-the-hour news just reported that the language to prevent taxpayer funds from providing for abortions has been defeated -- if Stupak and the pro-life folks in the House stand by their principles (and I've got to believe they will on this), the bill has no chance of passage back through the House.
