Will most of the progressives, including the CBC, vote against it? If they do, will the Republicans have enough votes to pass it anyway?
I suspect about 50 Democrats will oppose it. That is just a guess. But it would mean that Boehner would need to get some Tea Partiers on board to get it thru the House. It may be more difficult than we now imagine?

If the House Dems are smart, they'll play strategy along with the Senate Dems and use this opportunity to show the House GOP to be the real problem in the legislative process.
