Republican Whip Count for Boehner Bill - thehill.com, as of 11:54 a.m. est today

[georgiaboy]

Whip List from thehill.com

We're slowly seeing the creation of a 'tea party list of heroes' as this unfolds (the 'nays').
If your rep is in the undecided camp, might want to give them a nudge.

24 Republican 'Nays' are needed to kill the bill. (Of course, the Senate probably won't pass it anyway even if it does pass the House).

lest we forget, there was a time, not too long ago, when the list of 'no' votes would've been only one name.

 

[liberalnurse]

lest we forget, there was a time, not too long ago, when the list of 'no' votes would've been only one name.

How sweet it is.

 

[angelatc]

Thad McCotter is a yes. Imagine that.

This proof that Pelosi is a strong and formidable foe. Not one blue dog has crossed the line.

 

[erowe1]

There are some people on that maybe list that we should be able to convince to vote no. Jimmy Duncan, Tom McClintock, and since Tom Latham took the pledge, definitely him and anyone else who's on the list of people who took the pledge.

 

[georgiaboy]

Bartlett shifted from leaning yes to yes.


LAST UPDATED ON JULY 29 AT 1:17 p.m.

 

[erowe1]

That's odd. The leaning yes number went down by one, but none of the others went up by one.

Edit: Bartlett got moved from leaning yes to planning to vote yes. That must mean that either the number 68 is wrong, or someone else is not on that list and either should be on it or should be on another one.

 

[georgiaboy]

Manzullo moves from undecided to Yes. 1:47pm update
Count - 18 No, 7 leaning yes, 70 yes, 32 undecided, total = 127

And yes, erowe1, thehill.com failed to update their counts - their yes vote is currently off by one by their own list. they're currently showing 69, but the number of names is actually 70.

 

[georgiaboy]

Update: 2:21 p.m.
Todd Akin (Mo.) — just changed from No to Yes
Benishek - changed from undecided to Yes
Count - 17 No, 7 leaning yes, 72 yes, 31 undecided = 127 total

 

[Agorism]

Boehner converted three of them

Nos to Yeses
July 29, 2011 11:33 A.M.
By Daniel Foster
As Kathryn notes, a newly revamped Boehner bill heads to the floor that calls for a balanced-budget amendment to be approved by two-thirds of both houses and sent to the states for ratification before the second tranche of the debt-ceiling increase would take effect.

As Kathryn also notes, the change has prompted the Club for Growth to tentatively rescind their “key vote” warning, and opposition. Rep. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) becomes the first big “get” for Boehner, announcing this morning that he is now a yes. But if the Club rescission holds, I imagine there will be many more.

UPDATE: Andrew Stiles tells me Reps. Landry (R., La.), Gingrey (R., Ga.), and Gohmert (R., Texas) are among the converts.

That's odd. The leaning yes number went down by one, but none of the others went up by one.

Edit: Bartlett got moved from leaning yes to planning to vote yes. That must mean that either the number 68 is wrong, or someone else is not on that list and either should be on it or should be on another one.

I don't see Virginia Fox on the list.

 

[georgiaboy]

I don't see Virginia Fox on the list.

it's not necessarily a complete list of all GOP house members. the article states that any republican not on the list is most likely a yes vote.

 

[Agorism]

Bachmann and Paul are in D.C. I hope?

 

[georgiaboy]

Update 2:41 pm EDT
Walberg change from undecided to Yes
Count - 17 no, 7 leaning yes, 73 yes, 30 undecided = total 127

 

[Agorism]

Where you getting your update from?

 

[speciallyblend]

i think the top 10 republicans to remove from office is starting to shape up pretty fast

 

[georgiaboy]

Update 3:01 PM EDT
Andy Harris changes from No to Yes, citing BBA language added to bill
Count - 16 No, 7 leaning Yes, 74 Yes, 30 Undecided = 127 Total

For all you Amash haters:

The latest proposal raises the debt limit immediately w/ no fundamental reforms. It includes an unenforceable promise of the passage of a constitutional BBA in conjunction w/ another debt limit increase in the future. I cannot support this proposal.

Instead of focusing on an arbitrary deadline, let's work together to focus on the real crisis—the immoral debt burden we are placing on the backs of the next generation.

thank you, Justin.
