I’ll bet a whole lot of money and promises are being exchanged.

There are various letters, some with the signers known (the “I will vote No if there isn’t a Public Option” is fairly well ID’d – those are the ones who Jane forced to take the “pledge” a few months ago).

But there’s the Stupak group, whom have mostly been ID’d. There’s the “41 Por-choice women” on DeGette’s letter that have not been ID’d and there’s also Harry Reid’s “We promise to fix the Senate bill through reconciliation if you House folks will just trust us and pass our bill” which has no one ID’d at all. Think Lucy –> Football

Per HuffPo:

3:24 PM ET — 10 votes shy of health care. According to the vote count being kept by the New York Times, Democrats now have 206 declared or strongly expected ‘yes’ votes for health care reform, leaving them in need of just 10 addition votes to ensure the bill’s passage.

Emphasis mine.

No, I think it’s the signers of the “we won’t vote for anything without a public option” letter that are secret.

10 in the Stupak bloc

Oh? Do we know who they all are now? Last I heard they were all super secret.

This makes me so mad at

a) Massa. Why couldn’t he have at least stayed to vote “no” on this? What could they have done to him that’s worse than what’s already gone on, and what will happen to the American public without his vote; and

b) Kucinich – need I say more?

I wonder if Obama has asked the Taliban if they have any changes they want? Everything, is for sale in DC all u need is one of two things. 1. $$ and lots of it. 2. Strong right wing credentials. Dirty Hippies need not apply.

No American woman should ever vote Democratic again.
