Go Home Counting to 216

THE TREATMENT MARCH 1, 2010

Counting to 216

BY JONATHAN COHN

Daniel Nichanian has an excellent post up at Campaign Diaries breaking down all of the House Democratic votes for health care reform now in play.

It takes account of the very latest news, including the word that Republican Nathan Deal is stepping down. That reduces the majority threshold to 216.

It doesn't attempt to predict a final outcome, but I suspect that both optimists and pessimists will find grist for their views.

This raises an important question. If Democrats get to 216, which will happen, thunder and lightening while the Count laughs vampirically, or the baker falling down the steps as his tray of pastries clatters after him?
