PELOSI AND CLYBURN ADMIT THEY STILL DON’T DO NOT HAVE 216:

March 16, 2010

From TheHill.com: “Democratic leaders are using a mixture of pressure and persuasion to get Hispanic Democrats in the ‘yes’ column when it comes to the vote on healthcare. Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) members face a tough choice in how to vote on a healthcare bill that will benefit their constituents but contains tough provisions on illegal immigrants….The Speaker and Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) admit they do not have the 216 votes necessary to pass healthcare reform, thus making every vote critical.” By Code Red
