Cap’n’ Trade is still too close to call:
“We’re getting there, but we’re not there yet,” said Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the majority whip, later telling reporters the majority has the 218 necessary votes, but “maybe 217.”
This morning, the House adopted the rule for debate on the climate bill, 217-205.
“I think we’re going to be OK,” added Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). Asked if he was nervous about the proposal, Hoyer replied, “I’m always concerned.”
Now would be a good time to call your Congressman. Hell, call somebody else’s, too.
“Democrats hold 256 seats in the House but cannot count on all of their members as they try to pass the legislation with only minimal GOP support.”
WTF does ‘only minimal’ mean?
I guess 0 is an integer.

Mary Bono is reportedly strongly in favor of the bill. That’s one.
8 is an integer too.
