Kucinich flips ObamaCare vote to "Yes," but are Dems closer to victory?

I just watched as Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), with his characteristic flourish, announce that he will vote "Yes" on ObamaCare. The Ohio über-liberal voted against the bill in November--because it wasn't radical enough. But are the Dems closer to victory? House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) is hinting that the health care reform vote could be delayed until after Easter--clearly he doesn't have the votes. CNN reported this morning that the Democrats are 11 votes short of passing ObamaCare--okay, with Kucinich flipping, that makes it 10.

UPDATE 1:15 CDT: The Hill is reporting that Clyburn thinks an ObamaCare could take place this weekend.
