Correction: Republicans would need 60 votes to advance it in the Senate. Democrats do not. Rules are always for the other guy.

Penis pinching Pelosi may have lost the majority margin in the House. She needs 218.

This could get interesting.

They plan to ram it through in time for the SOTU speech.

If that MA Senate special election gets tighter, watch these clowns start to squirm and accelerate the cram down.

If Brown wins - (doubtful) - the GOP filibuster is back on the table with 59-41.

What fun it would be to watch a Republican sit in Ted’s seat.

"They still need 60 votes to advance it in the Senate"

True; but they've got 'em.

If there is the slightest doubt about having 60 votes confirmed, they'll have two options:

1) Give more millions to buy the vote with more taxpayer debt

2) Amend the rules to only require a simple majority.

This communist takeover is a done deal; get over it.

We need Brown to win in Massachusetts! That will give them only 59 affirmative votes — 1 less than the needed 60!
