NYT reporting he's postponing again, but no confirmation on WaPo or Politico.

There's an alert on CSPAN2 that says the vote has been postponed.

He'd probably have more votes by now if it weren't for that great genius Nancy Pelosi who's trying to "save life as we know it on this planet".....

He's toast. He can't get a quorum of republicans to vote for it, so he and some non-tea party types are going to have to vote for the Dem bill, after a few changes to save face.

Kudos to NYT for getting the scoop, what with WaPo and Politico there with hometown advantage.

oh, and here's why:

There will be guidance on tomorrow’s schedule from the Majority Leader’s Office later tonight. When we took the majority we promised to end the practice of forcing substantial bills through the House in the dark of night, and we take that pledge seriously.



Yeah, so that's why they're delaying it. And to think I thought it was because they didn't have the votes! :lol2:
