"an aura of inevitability"

I think you're right. They don't have the votes but will never admit defeat. Not even in 2010 when we vote them out. They'll just slither away.

Every GOP candidate for election in 2010 should publicly sign a declaration in their own blood to REPEAL this crap if elected.

Those are the only candidates I will work for and support.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland says the vote that House Democrats had scheduled for Saturday could slip to Sunday or early next week.

YOU LIE!

Ahhh more dithering.

I wonder if any to the 30 or so under ethics investigations are having this held over there head, since there has been no out come yet.

I believe Pelosi knew a month ago that she didn’t have the votes. This is more of a design to just kill off the bill entirely and forget about it. Look at the 1,900 pages....the various jail threats if you don’t do it....countless objections. It’s almost an intentional thing to create a mess...so it wouldn’t pass.

If it doesn’t pass...the air in this Republican balloon goes down a notch or two...and the odds of them winning in November 2010...probably half of what it would be if this passes. I think this is intentional...and she knows the final outcome is a no-vote.
