I'm More Likely to Become a Ballerina Than For Obamacare to Pass by Reconciliation

People who just catch snippets of news -- a headline here, a brief TV report there -- might think that there is some momentum behind the push to pass Obamacare by reconciliation. It's an illusion. Our DC leaders may well be dumb as a bag of hammers but they understand the media. Throw a few confident-sounding quotes into the media every day and maybe people who aren't paying attention will think this thing is going to pass.

It isn't. They don't have the votes. The bill is dead. They just don't know it yet.
