Pelosi: does she…

…or doesn’t she? Have the votes for HCR, that is?

Even Pelosi doesn’t know for sure. As for me, I would not believe a word that comes out of Pelosi’s mouth. And that includes “and” and “the.”

While it’s true that, if Pelosi did have the votes, she would move the bill to the floor, right now the Democrats are waiting for the CBO to score it and the parliamentarian to rule on it. So there is a possibility she does already have the votes and is telling the truth. But if so, it would be a surprise to Bart Stupak and his anti-abortion-funding colleagues.

  2. Does she or doesn’t she?

    That’s the $64 question. Or $64,000 question. Or $64 trillion question. Who’s counting these days?

    During the 1940s, “That’s the $64 question” became a common catch phrase for a particularly difficult question or problem. In addition to the common phrase, “Take it or leave it”, the show also popularized another phrase, widely spoken in the 1940s as a taunt but now mostly forgotten (except in Warner Bros. cartoons). Chanted in unison by the entire audience when someone chose to risk their winnings by going for the $64 prize, it was vocalized with a rising inflection: “You’ll be sorrr-REEEE!”

  3. The day that Pelosi has the votes is the day the vote will be taken. It is also the day that Obama will sign it into law.

  4. Mr. Frank has it right. Waiting for the CBO score is a sure sign that Pelosi doesn’t have the votes, that she’s been told by some Democrats that they won’t prematurely vote before they see the CBO score.

  6. Mr. Frank and Geoffrey Britain are right: Pelosi does not have the votes, or it would have been voted on already.
