Rep. Loretta Sanchez

Just because a couple people in the comments asked for it, I’ll put up the numbers at the bottom of this post. But as a news peg, let me show you Loretta Sanchez’ tweet from the well of the House:

Looking forward to casting my vote on this historic health care bill! House is currently set to vote around 11pm EST.

I think a “No” vote after that statement would be, well, odd. So she’s a yes.

For me, acting with an abundance of caution, I think it’s 214-209. So that would be two from passage, with 8 undecided.

UPDATE: Jim Cooper makes it 215. That’s one from passage. As I said, this is going to pass.

UPDATE II: Indiana’s Joe Donnelly was part of the Stupak agreement, he confirms. That gives the Democrats the required 216 votes, and 100% assurance of passage of health care reform today.

Full count after the jump. . . .
