The Whip Job Ahead of the Democrats on the Way to 218

By W. James Antle, III on 11.6.09 @ 1:34PM

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has posted a useful list of 69 Democrats who have expressed opposition to the speaker's health care bill, with quotes. With zero Republican defections, a large number of wavering Democrats will have to be brought in line. The closer the final vote is to 218, every Democrat in a tough district who votes for the bill will be able to be blamed for the outcome. Who wants to volunteer to be the Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky of the 2010 election cycle?

Can this health care abomination really be stopped? Are the proponents really so ignorant or malicious to want to bring down this shining city? What is wrong with them? I am extremely worried that this measure will finally bankrupt our nation and destroy any remaining spirit our clearly exceptional country has.
