Nancy Pelosi is having trouble neutering enough blue dog Democrats to pass Pelosicare. The White house is in overdrive trying to strong-arm enough moderate and conservative democrats to pass the House version of Obamacare. The Democratic leadership in the House is now backing off their plan for a Saturday vote. Hoyer is trying to balme Republicans, but Democrats have 40 votes more than they need to pass the bill if they could get all their party members support. They shouldn't need a single Republican vote.
From FOX News:
With House Democratic leaders admitting Friday they don't have enough votes to pass their health care legislation, President Obama unleased a full-court press on lawmakers sitting on the fence.
