The Hill: Dems say they have the votes to pass ObamaCare

The Hill is reporting tonight that senior Democratic officials say they found that elusive 218th vote to put ObamaCare over the top in the House of Representatives. Now they're trying to get one more--so Republican opponents can't claim the the Democrat they're running against was the deciding vote for government-run health care.

Think about it. Even the Dems suspect there is something wrong with ObamaCare.

Meanwhile, the Stupak Amendment, which will prevent taxpayer funds to pay for abortions, has passed. Bart Stupak, a Democrat from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and about forty Blue Dogs, held back their support for ObamaCare until their amendment was added to the bill.
