The Hill: Reports the following on the search for votes by Speaker Pelosi, " Sources on and off Capitol Hill say the Speaker is playing from behind and needs time to make her case to her caucus. ". The Speaker would not be daft to go to the floor for health care reform if she didn't have the votes, thus this is a game of smoking mirrors, the strategy is to get well over 216 votes to pass HCR so it looks like a clear victory. As stated HCR will pass by around 2 to 3 votes, thus time to look at the Mid Term Congressional Elections of 2010 and how the passing of HCR will effect the Democratic Party. The next few days is about the murky process of making the Speaker look good to her Party, but HCR will pass, the Speaker is a ideologue but not a foolish politician.
