Be Of Good Cheer-It WON'T Pass

The Whip Count as reported by The Hill blog is heartening. If all congressional Republicans vote NO on the Obamacare bill, the maximum Democrats that can vote NO on the bill are 37 in order for the bill to pass by 216 votes. The number of NO votes by Dems ALREADY equals 37 as of today. And there are 70 undecideds. All we need is for ONE more Dem to vote NO and Obamacare is dead. I'm beginning to believe that this bill will go down in flames. As it should. It is really an awful bill. How anybody could think that this overreach could make good law for America is beyond my grasp.

Dems should start over, taking each issue separately. Preexisting conditions? PASSED! Insurance portability? PASSED! Tort reform? Ok, I'm dreaming here. Dems need to boot the trial lawyers out of bed before that can happen....
