They're in the last throes of grandstanding on the House floor as I write this. ETA for the roll: 1:30 p.m. sharp, safely ahead of Madam Speaker's departure time for that flight to Rome. Whew.
You can watch live at C-SPAN1. The Senate vote is tentatively scheduled for 5 p.m., but Roll Call says they may hold it open for hours afterwards in case they don't hit the magic number of 60 on their first shot. Exit question: Does any House Republican dare vote for this crap sandwich? Phone numbers and e-mail addresses to come in an update, if so!
Update: Here's a reassuring prognosis from Emanuel Cleaver, via Drudge: "Regardless of party, we all cast our votes with one hand and crossed our fingers with the other."
Wow, that's some awesome reassurance from the hometown KC rep. Thanks for that, Mr. Cleaver.Call now...
There's my two cents.
