Quick and Dirty ObamaCare Updates

The latest whip count shows Pelosi several votes short.

Politico says they’re still eight votes shy.

Rep. Michael Arcuri (D-NY) switches from a Yes to a No.

Jill Stanek says Pelosi doesn’t have the votes, and the Stupak 12 will hold firm.

Ace of Spades estimates that Pelosi needs 24 of 26 undecideds to win. I think his count is slightly optimistic.

Jeffrey Anderson at NRO takes the current count and estimates that if all undecideds vote the way they did in November, ObamaCare loses 207-224.

Thanks to ObamaCare, the Democrats have lost Howard Stern.

Updated: Is Pelosi’s whip Rep. Stephen Lynch (MA 09) flipping from Yes to No? Ace of Spades says yes.

Updated 2: A nice rundown by Michael Barone. “We’re still seeing only one November no vote switched publicly to yes—that of Dennis Kucinich, one of two Democrats who opposed the House bill from the left (with the other, Eric Massa, no longer in the House). We’ve seen more November yes votes switching publicly to no.”
