Health Care Votes!

Although you may not be able to see it clearly, this is a graphic from the New York Times's coverage of the status of health care reform as of 5:50 PST on Sunday, March 21, 2010. The health care bill is to be voted on in a matter of hours, and I thought it would be interesting to look at the stats going into the official vote.
This shows the amount of votes there are in favor of the bill, and the number of votes that are against the bill. In favor, there are 218 votes for yes, and 206 for no. There are 4 Democratic votes that have still not been released to the public by people holding out for deals. These four representatives are from Virginia, Illinois, and Tennessee. Personally, I do not think holding out on the information is going to be effective into the hours preceding the vote. Nancy Pelosi has the votes that she needs to pass the bill, and she will probably not be interested in giving someone a deal if she doesn't need it. They do, however, conveniently get the attention of being one of the stragglers in this historical event.
