Are we anywhere near a Veto over-ride on SCHIP? (sorry, been living in a box)

[MsRedacted]

If anyone knows I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

1. I doubt we can over ride the veto

It's rare for a bill to pick up votes in order to override a veto. It's normally that it passes by a veto-proof margin and then a few votes fall off the total due to pressure from the president...

2. No, and it is one of the reasons more Ds in congess would be better

even though we might not be very happy with them right now.

4. yeah agreed. I ran into a list of things Schwartzenegger recently vetoed here

in CA. It's just sick that these bastards can wield so much power.

3. Can override in that Senate..

but are twenty votes short in the House. Looks like House repukes are going to hang tight on this with the Pretzeldent.

So sorry kids... no health care for YOU and YOU and, especially, YOU!

6. Hopefully, quite a number of those hanging tight with W can be knocked off

in the 08 election. The Dems should beat them like a drum over this issue...

5. Probably won't be able to override in the House. We then should all demand the House reps. give up

their taxpaid insurance.
