OK - is there a site that shows all the people in the House and does a guess-estimate on which way they are firm to vote one way or the other and leaning one way or the other?

I don't think so. At least I haven't seen it. What we do know is that the retirements and switched votes have left the vote vis a vis the original House vote at dead even. If every member of the House that voted YES on the House Bill votes YES on the Senate Bill it is a 216 to 216 tie - or close to that.

But Rep. Stupak and 11 other Pro-Lifers (all Dems) voted YES last time because they had added in a anti-abortion funding amendment. That amendment is not in the Senate Bill and Rep. Stupak knows it. He has stated that he and the other 11 Pro-Life Dems will vote NO on the Senate Bill. If they stick to their guns, which is likely, then Nancy has to convert at least 12 NO votes to YES votes. Not likely to happen IMHO.

In any case, the thing to watch in the next few days is for Dems to declare themselves as either YES or NO votes on the Senate Bill. Also watch the Senate to see if they can figure out how to do something to convince Stupak et al to change their minds. And have plenty of popcorn available.

You and I dont know that . Remember, Stupak and his cohorts are not blue dogs, they are liberals who are "pro-life". They just might fold.
