The Democratic vote counter in the House of Representatives says there aren't enough votes to pass ObamaCare. He also says that he's confident that the Democrats will get enough votes to pass it. I think he's right on both counts. If they had the votes by now, the vote would have been held by now. But should it be that difficult for House Democrats to muster 216 votes? The Democrats, after all, control the House by more than seventy votes. They have lost a dozen or so "yea" votes through resignations, deaths, and abandoning the Stupak language prohibiting abortion funds. But if they can't make up those votes with this large of a majority then they can't hope to do anything this ambitious for at least a generation.
