Pelosi: We'll Vote Next Week

We’ll soon know if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the votes for health care: She has told congressmen to clear their schedules for next weekend and promised that the House will stay in session until the vote. Politico writes, “members and staff don’t think Pelosi has the 216 votes she needs to pass reform at this point, but most believe she’s close.” Pelosi also approved of President Obama’s decision to delay his trip to Asia until March 21. "I am delighted the president will be here for the passage of the bill,” she said. “It will be historic."
