The elderly Campbell's Soup Kid responds to Red Barry's bazillion-and-third ObamaCare harangue:

Meanwhile, "blue dog" Michael Arcuri flips from yes to no, Obamunist Raúl Grijalva shifts from yes to the fence and might take Denis Kucinich and Eric Massa(bate) with him, and retiring Brian Baird doesn't look to have moved much from his November no vote.

With Crazy Nancy anywhere from twelve to twenty votes short, and out of time-outs, the question isn't whether she can afford to merely "trade baskets" this late in the game, but whether it's even possible to make up that deficit - this side of election day, anyway:

Dead, dead, dead - gotta like the sound of that.

Not that Red Barry isn't going the extra filthy "Chicago way" mile to make the nightmare come true:

Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit…

“The Congressman is looking for development of bipartisan consensus,” Matheson’s press secretary Alyson Heyrend wrote to THE WEEKLY STANDARD on February 22. “It’s too early to know if that will occur.” Asked if one could infer that if no Republican votes in favor of the bill (i.e. if a bipartisan consensus is not reached) then Rep. Matheson would vote no, Heyrend replied: “I would not infer anything. I’d wait to see what develops, starting with the health care summit on Thursday.”

Well, why WOULD he bother with subtlety after he and the Pelosi/Reid politburo have made such a cesspool of this misbegotten effort? It just goes to show that for all of Lucifer's pathetic entreaties to House Dems to commit political suicide to "save my presidency," that entity's biggest nemesis has been and remains none other than the Chicago Cherubim himself.
