I am currently watching C-Span and Harry Reid just said he no longer has the votes to pass a spending bill to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year.

Sorry for the lack of links but I am writing this as it happens live on C-Span.

I am surprised I have not seen a diary on this... It has dangerous implications and I dont think the timing was a coincidence...

So first the facts of what happened via msnbc...

South Korea scrambled naval vessels to western waters near the disputed maritime border with North Korea late Friday after an explosion ripped a hole in the bottom of a military ship, officials and news reports said.

I got an e-mail from politico about 10 mins ago and to me this is the closest that anyone in the leadership as come to saying that they HAVE the votes on healthcare to pass it Sunday.

The quote below the fold tells me they have the votes or are VERY VERY close.

I didnt put breaking because I didnt think it was as warranted as my diary from yesterday...

I got this from Politico about 5 minutes ago and thought this would be great to get out there....

The Congressional Budget Office has determined that the health reform plan will cost $940 billion over 10 years, but will trim the federal deficit by $130 billion in the first ten years and $1.2 trillion in the second ten years, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said.

Today Fatah adopted a position paper that not only is unhelpful to the peace process but just gives everyone an excuse to disengage from the process and gives the right wing Israeli government ammunition to say it has no partner for peace.

Specifics below the fold....

MSNBC first read dug up the transcripts from the Vice Presidential Debate just to look and see who supported capping Carbon Emissions and look who they found... thats right SARAH PALIN

This of course comes on the heels of Palin in the Washington Post

American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy. Particularly in Alaska, we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, and energy and security. Consequently, many of us in this huge, energy-rich state recognize that the president's cap-and-trade energy tax would adversely affect every aspect of the U.S. economy.

Here quote from the debate is below the fold

Yes this is a very narrow win with Kadima winning 28 seats and Likud winning 27 out of a possible 120. It seems it is going to be hard for Kadima to form a coalition government but this does not mean it cannot be done.

The results can be followed as the last 2% come in here

In what can only be considered a good thing, Hamas has accepted a cease-fire on the condition that Israel withdraw from the Gaza strip.

I found the article on Haaretz's website but they said it is being reported by the Saudi-owned Arabic language Al Arabiya TV.

This will be a short diary but it was important to get out there...

President-elect Obama has decided to tap Eric Holder as his attorney general, putting the veteran Washington lawyer in place to become the first African-American to head the Justice Department, according to two legal sources close to the presidential transition.

With two more polls coming out today one from Kos and Research 2000 has McCain only up by one and under 50% at 48-47. While ARG came out with a poll with McCain at 50% up by 4, 50-46.

This forced the RCP average to 4.4% and put Arizona John McCain's home state into the TOSS UP category.

It was first discussed on dailykos yesterday in the diary AZ-03 Where to start that

someone in the Arizona Democrats office in Tempe found something quite unusual under a desk: a credit card in the name of "John Shadeggs Friends." Multiple unreturned calls to the Shadegg office and eventually press reports brought an extremely dodgy answer from the Shadegg campaign. They claimed that the card was being used by a "volunteer" who was on his way to buy campaign supplies, and who stopped into the office to get an Obama bumper sticker, for which he paid cash, to add to his personal political memorabilia collection.

It was actually found out that this "volunteer" that Shadegg named as Ryan Anderson is ACTUALLY the DEPUTY CAMPAIGN MANAGER and there was no record of him buying a bumper sticker.

However the AZ Democratic party seems to have figured out why...

I know we have made a big deal lately about the MSM having a major double standard and wanting to keep this race as close as possible HOWEVER finally it looks like Real Clear Politics is coming around slowly.

Today they moved Florida from "toss up" to "leans Obama." Even on the conservative RCP this gives Obama a lead of 304-158 with 76 EVs as a toss up states.
