I would not be surprised if today's debt ceiling bill passes the House with more Democratic than Republican votes. If that happens, it will be a tremendous victory for the Democrats, and Republicans nationwide should be outraged with their Republican leaders. 

I don't think Pelosi would go that far?
I heard she has Not "whipped" her party, she merely sent an email asking where they stand.

This will be interesting, a political chess game.
We will know more in a few hours. clo

WHIP COUNT: House leaders in both parties seek votes to pass debt-limit deal
By The Hill Staff - 08/01/11 02:17 PM ET

The debt-limit deal announced on Sunday night is expected to attract more than 60 votes in the Senate, but its outlook in the House is much more cloudy.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will need Democratic votes to clear the bill through the lower chamber. How many remains unclear. A total of 216 lawmakers must vote in favor of the package for it to clear the House, and Boehner will need to rely on members from both parties.
